It was Sunday morning
at the hour of dog walks
and paper shops.
I saw yellow leaves
falling from the ash.
Dancing in migration
towards earth.
..
Unflickering flames
gathered in their rest,
giving up life source
for reincarnation,
when the sap rises
and swallows return.
..
News in Tesco bags
accompany people
on a return journey
to their day off lounge.
Dogs on a circular route
with lead, ash twig and ball
are not so eager, to end
the twice daily trip.

Thanks Jacqueline
Faithful companions – dogs.
And I can see the ash leaves clearly as a neighbor has such a tree.
Lovely second stanza.
Thank you Jules. It was a little different somehow combining ordinary life with nature.
loved “dancing migration” and “unflickering flames” !
Thanks Freya
