the shape leaves

i awoke this morning to a falling of small snow

like drifting white vapour

and i got to thinking of a summer's day seeds

sometimes hovering

sometimes clustering

and then a sudden sidewards tack

on a thread of moving air

then continuing their journey

slowly downwards

and settling in the soil

in the weft and warp of their lives,

how they get there isn't as important as getting there

they can wait

if not now

then another time

if not there

then another place

i greatly admire the music of richard skelton.

his music has some of the characteristics of leaves and snow and seeds

as it wends and werns its way through paths that

sometimes find resolution

and more often lead to

a thought

that emerges from an obscured detail of the previous passage
