Two Leaves/One Tree

We are two leaves 

from the same tree, 

growing together 

and also apart. 

I want to fall with you- 

let go 

and lie together 

until we are old and wrinkled-

until we are no longer 

discernible 

from one another. 

Let us return 

to the earth that 

once held us. 

We shall be new 

again.
