When all is said and done
hushed words sink to silence,
falling from grace like rocks in space
igniting upon entry, to finally cease.
So few that make it through,
crashing down with the force
Of a thousand -
unintelligible to all but they who witness
this moment captured by infinity.
A trifle to most, but spoken right
within the proper light -
beaming down with searing heat -
They fall with the weight of the world
on those who wish to hear.
Until the splendor of a single leaf,
green, and unphased by nature's fury
drifts too soon to meet its maker
with no chance to give back in turn
the life it once received.
