Crisp leaves,
Floating,
Down,
Down,
Down to the ground in this realm we have found ourselves living in.
They grace the grass with a gentle kiss as they land between the blades,
A softness I only aspire to embody.
A softness that is not demanded,
That is not shoved into my core to shape me into something palatable.
There is something so powerful about choosing to be soft,
To go about life gently,
To watch your words but yet still
Not censor them.
