Loss is
Falling.
A brown
Shriveled leaf
Drifting
To settle
Among the thorns.

Eyes upon
Giants above
Snatched from its home
Cast out
Alone.

However,
Looking up
It cannot see
Wild grasses
Roaming free.

Gems of dawn
Glittering
With streaks from the horizon
Shooting across the lawn.

Loss is
Falling
And looking down.


The author's comments:
The falling leaf symbolizes the loss, feeling helpless and alone; however, the leaf then realizes how there's so much more out there in the world and notices all the vibrant nature out there. That represents someone who has suffered through loss understanding that the world is full of opportunities and new life.
