The Leaf that Withered on the Tree

the mystery is in
its impossible ruin
but picked for a lesser life
the leaf that withered
on the branch
with emaciated cells
and dark rusty color
fated to kiss the ground

yet, it is less a leaf
but more of the sun
like a prayer
remaining crisp
on a candle’s flame
rising to look down
to give solace with a kiss
to the insignificant
