Perhaps it’s just an ordinary leaf —
Dried up and ready to be thrown away.
But then again, perhaps not.
It’s a golden feather
And a dazzling heart.
After all, the holes are there to let the joy
And the light flood in.
For more different points of view, please visit: Our World.
And joining up with Skywatch too.

The leaf reminds me of lace and also words by Leonard Cohen in a song: “There is a crack, a crack in everything … That’s how the light gets in”.

Are the holes there to permit a surfeit of the joy and the light or they are there because of the fusillade of the joy and the light?
