THE EXCITING PATTERNS OF TREE LEAVES

by Rex Valentine (USA)

The swaying patterns of tree leaves
change with every gust of air.
It seems as if the earth actually breathes
with wonders that change everywhere.
Each tree and unsuspecting shrub,
becomes a player in Gods lovely cape.
The endless designs of all their leaves rub
together to form every imaginable shape.
Each season promotes a kaleidodial change,
Like a gentle twist of the scope.
The variable beauty, an unending range
of possibility and hope.
Even in winter when most leaves are gone
the starkness they leave in their wake
enlivens a landscape. With spring on,
to fill voids in a colorful take.
We can paint pictures to capture a scene
that we think would win any contest.
But Old Mother Nature, with feathers to preen,
produces the best of the best.
