Sense Sonnet - Acher

Nostalgic

I am a leaf that came in spring,

And take my place with many more.

It is just a natural thing.

But there are times I've yearning for

My beginnings within this tree.

As I was taking form to sprout

There was such nurturing for me.

I felt more safe inside than out.

But then came time to take my place

With all the other leaves outside,

With all those unknowns I would face.

Past nostalgia I kept as guide.

It is the time of fall and so

Back to my roots I yearn to go.
