Life of a leaf's underbelly

Turn over a leaf, one sees…

The underbelly, damp and full of life.

__

As it dries, discoveries are made;

the wind blows,

the dust travel,

life clings on, sprouting beyond the imagination.

__

Embrace. See. Feel. Smell.

The new season.

__

Season of success.

Full of vitality!

Joy!

All crafted for new beginnings.

__

That. That is already HERE.

Unseen to the eye, growth sprouts.

As it is, the life of a leaf’s underbelly.
