Two leaves that touched
then fluttered by
fell to earth
from treetops high.
Both without identity
though with finger prints,
and changing colours
of matching tints.
Perhaps there was hope
they could re-unite
with the help of a breeze
at the dead of night.
Maybe once again
their paths could cross
so as to build a life
on settled moss.
Not too long left
each knew they had
before in frost
they would be clad.
If only they could
think the same,
and shelter from
the pending rain.
What would each do
the other thought,
recalling the lessons
they had been taught.
Then, as if by magic
instinct came,
to both, at once –
each thought, the same.
They both had seen
a nettle bush,
under which to sit
to avoid a crush.
One instinctively knew,
by now, that the other,
would float straight to it
for protective cover.
And two seconds after
the first landed there,
the other arrived
and they became a pair.
