Leaf

Unleashing the poet inside this is my brother's latest instalment.  

His challenge was to write the poem in such a way that the reader could imagine the story being about a leaf or that it could be about love.

You be the judge of that and do tell me what you think.

LEAF 
by Alex Hajas

The summer wind has brought you forth

Among the thistle and the thorns

With a smile in a lonely field

Alone you shine for me to see

They weigh you down but you resist

Your sheer strength creates a mist

Where you hide in time of sorrow

To gain your strength for what's tomorrow

Everyday you seek the sun

To feel its warmth that gives you life

So keep on smiling and look up

And see the rays that fill your heart
