May Leaves

I feel the tension fading steadily.
And the sadness sets in like a curled
Leaf resting on my cheek. I twirl
It from the stem and pray for trees.
Make them dance for me –
Let it rain leaves.

    I like your poem, you're a regular Wallace Stevens. You should try reading his poem, "Of Mere Being." I think you'll like it a lot.
