maple leaves

I’m lying under maple leaves
their translucent quality
inspires me to think of
the billions of beautiful shades of green in the world.

finding qualities of home from afar
is like discovering how the same we all are.
yet each a tint different of this grand masterplan
of the universe

and I, as insignificant in the grand scheme of things
as this faint background organ music,
am content
with the limited impact
I’m destined to make.
just like these leaves love being leaves
I love being.
