• In early winter, when the sunshine mist
• goes thick, like is the fog on mornings next,
• dense, as if life has scattered its most precious
  gist,
• dispersed in sunlight, showing its very best
• When people plunge into this sea,
• like into their condensed hopes own,
• a leaf comes off an old tree
• and spirals down to the ground
• This yellow, nonchalant leaf,
• descends into a good heart, giving
• compassion, understanding, feeling,
• and music for all poets living
