Fate

Can you ask the leaf to move the wind?
Coming from the grave to kiss the tree.
Skipping autumn gold and winter death,
Making Spring bud from Summer green?

It's still not a haiku, but I love it.

An oddly somber air of regret to this... I'll be asking the inspiration...

The inspiration was me regreting my fleeting nature. I tend to drift around and not focus enough on any one thing like a leaf on the wind. The leaf wants stability by going back to the tree from whence it came, but it can't.
