Dying purple

Dying purple

One particular leaf

fallen in Autumn's avalanche..

The end of summer green

 replaced with dying purple..

A quick photo and I depart

wondering in time hence

of the location and color now

of this one leaf that graced

my earlier perception..

The leaf has now transformed

into a thought..a memory..

appearing in a placeless place

of my original perception..

And the photo..presents a

new perception and a

new memory when 

that perception ends..

The mind of perception

and memory..we must say
remains transparent and full
as the leaf and
its parading reminders
shape the mind
in dying shades of
purple...
