december
the gingko tree
under a cold blue sky
in a spectacular moment
drops its golden canopy
over tiny hints of snow
gracefully welcoming
the coming of the next season.

I am a lonely tree, surviving above the ground
Left to count the tears on the autumn leaves

Lovely! And it’s funny…our tiny gingko tree did the same thing. Dropped all of her leaves at once. It was a shock to look at the grass below. It looked like a reverse halo around her – bottom instead of top. 🥰

The same thing happened with my redbud. It held its leaves until it was almost the last on the street. And then whump, all the leaves came down in a day or so to form an almost solid carpet of gold. It’s not done that before. Strange.

Those are a lovely golden color! So worthy of your tribute. Our bradford pear trees are giving up their leaves begrudgingly. One still has most of its leaves.
