Lovers' Dance

      The leaf lets go of the tree.  Its journey of descent begins high above the earth.  It waltzes to the left, then to the right, lost in its own dance.  Continuing its downward trek, the waltz of left and right become closer together.  The dance becomes suspended and motionless as waltzing gives way to spiraling.  Breathlessly beautiful as it spirals down to meet the ground; it's destiny.  The journey is now over; never to be again.
