Before the Fall - Kevin Clous

In the springtime of my life
I envisioned myself,
       A sapling.
       Slowly growing.

The sunlight of summer 
Made me strong.
       A giant oak 
       Withstanding, powerful.

Through the changing seasons,
Sprang Autumn
       And
I realized I was not a lone oak, but
       One
Leaf upon the tree Life.

Some light within grows...
Changing.
Turning me to brilliant hues
Before the Fall.

In the Winter of my life,
How will I return to Earth?
Breaking free of the tree,
Will I plummet?

Or will I dance with the wind,
For awhile
Caressed by its wispy grasp
Carried afar.

The body finally cut free,
My soul laughs the laugh of a lifetime,
And
Life and death join in.
