Can a leaf live


 Can a leaf live again

John Clare Stokes 


It fell slowly in front of my path

Early for its time in mid summer

Thoughts of our own time left

Who would be in the chosen number


This leaf I took up in hand

Placed it with those who still grew

Then laid it gently upon the sand 

Below those it so briefly knew.
