Yes, I found it, really just the road I needed, Less the doubts and questions, Inside woods I hadn’t known yet, now, that done, The snow begins in small flakes One each one each One at a time they fall to their place On the leaves that too One each one each One at a time fell to their place here
Here, where stillness can only be unstilled By a breeze that misses the leaves felled And the deer that misses the season to be felled. I am here, too, still as a snow on a leaf My heart a tiny rhythm for the voice That whispers through bare branches What matters, yes, what matters One each one each One at a time fell into meaning. Still.
