commitment

listen to the turns
of the earth,
feel her body
rise and fall
and twist
with the song
of the cosmos.

there's a time
for everything.

listen.
listen to that
autumn leaf
held
by a strand
of herself,
before her fall,
the way
she comes apart
in one perfect moment,
with love,
for love.

there's a time
for everything,
when you love
the way you love.
