For a Dear Friend

A Leaf flutters
before blowing
into the stream below.

A moment, serene;
loss yet freedom.

A small drop falls upon
her soft veiny surface.
A larger drop beneath her, 
it all falls.
Splash, crash, and one last flash
of light.

A Leaf flutters
before bending back
into the cold dark.

    OMG! I love this poem! The sensory language you used is quite incredible and I honestly think this could end up in a collection of GREAT poems someday!
