I lay back and watch the leaves sway, sway in the sunlight that's drifting away. Leaves that form all different shapes, blend with the clouds--catch my breath in mid-air. They take residence in the sky like all things alive. Their edges sink deeper into my eyes, like falling glitter. I wonder what...
