Let me know what you all think.
LEAF
Sometimes he would take the time
take a leaf and look at it
become like the leaf in looking
and see it was impervious to rain
open and inviting to the sun
was not entirely unique
as one of a branch and
that branch
part of an entire bush
rooted and in wait
with no opinion
its ribs held taut
as it sucked up water
and minerals
all the way from its roots
by osmosis
and grew greener in its reaction to light
He drew the parallels
though balked at photosynthesis
