…”I have lost the leaves that knew
Touch of rain and weight of dew.
Blinded by a leafy crown
I looked neither up nor down—
But the little leaves that die
Have left me room to see the sky;
Now for the first time I know
Stars above and earth below.”
Sunday Sayings: Title and extract from Sara Teasdale’s poem “Leaves” to accompany my neutral toned photo of faded and fallen foliage for this last Sunday Sayings of the year.
