Poem: "The Lesson of the Falling Leaves," Lucille Clifton, Elaine Coyne

The Lesson of the Falling Leaves by Lucille Clifton:

the leaves believe

such letting go is love

such love is faith

such faith is grace

such grace is god

i agree with the leaves  

 

My Haiku revision of Lucille Clifton’s poem 

The Lesson of the Falling Leaves, Elaine Coyne revision, October 2021

 

with love and faith, leaves

like me, believe letting go

is God’s loving grace
