And so it went. Day after day after day I waited.
At first, from my faraway post it might have been an injured red Virginia Cardinal fluttering on a barren branch in a forest now devoid of any leaves.
On closer inspection it was actually a lone leaf fluttering in the breeze.
“It may be the only leaf still clinging to life in the state of Virginia,” I thought.
Then we had 60 mile per hour wind gusts.
“Surely it will release its grasp though this,”
But there it stayed and stays still.
I never see a singular leaf like this even though I look along our roadsides.
Now it is snowing and raining and snowing with a sometimes stiff breeze making for peculiar weather.
And there she is, hanging on
as if dreaming.
She is to be admired – an Autumn leaf dreaming of turning green again for one more chance at life.
