Leif found a leaf.
..
The leaf was beautiful and orange
..
to his surprise and belief.
..
Leif found a leaf.
..
He felt awestruck
..
that the brilliance
of that leaf
..
reminded him of
a coral reef.
..
The leaf was swept up and away
on that day
..
to his grief.
..
Then again,
..
Leif found another leaf.
..
This leaf was red with a yellow decor.
..
Leif was thrilled to search,
to discover, and to explore,
..
more and more and more.
..
There were many leaves,
many kinds,
..
all delightful with his finds,
..
on that Autumn day,
..
as Leif went outside
..
to learn and to play.
..
He embraced
the cloudy, gray
..
the joyous,
happy, and seasonal way.
