🍁A Leaf of luck 🍂

It was a fragile thing I hadn’t planned Not green with youth, but warm and worn A memory of autumn's dawn Its edges curled, yet beauty stayed A quiet gift the moment gave No words were said, yet somehow clear The air felt lighter with it near I keep it safe, though time may fade The tender calm it brought that day A leaf, just brown, yet strangely true It holds the thought of something new.
