Rustling Leaves
Sara sits outside in her chair, book in hand
Absorbed with the characters of her inner world
Drawn deeper inside with each page
She races breathlessly through the words
In this scene, Maggie walks along the trail
Will Matt be waiting at their spot, she wonders?
Sara thinks, “He should be Maggie’s true love”
But, she knows it’s not that simple … life never is
She takes a breath as she turns the page
Maggie rounds the corner of the trail and …
A soft rustling of leaves catches Sara’s attention
She looks up from her book and smiles at a blue jay
He looks at her as if to ask “Is he there?”
She smiles within at the moment shared
