Broken Leaf

A leaf, blows in the wind.
someone picks it up
caresses its softness
admires its color and smiles
then just lets it go.
It blow this way and that.
Alone, it makes its way.
getting torn by the harsh wind
as it is carried along
turning this way and that,
hitting against things
being torn even more.
Soon nothing is left
but the stem, and a few
fragile pieces, which crumble
quickly when carelessly
touched, or stepped upon.
Finally a pair of slender fingers
picks up a scoop of sand, sifting.
Noticing the bits of broken leaf.
She sheds a tear.
Recognizing her own shattered heart.
She places the small pieces
in her locket,
there next to her own
shattered heart.
giving it a resting place.
That’s the least every
broken heart should have.
