I Give You This Poem

I wish I could gather
The frozen leaves
Glazed in the rain barrel
And give them to you—
But, I give you this poem instead.


Words are leaves—
Colourful whispers,
Tiny scrolls
When breathed upon
Unroll their meaning;


I wish I could gather
All fluttering flags
And wave them for you
In a great huzzah
Until the sun blacks out.


But whether a shout
Or a whisper,
A letter or scroll,
Doesn’t matter…
I give you this poem instead.
