Autumn’s Last Leaf


the brisk autumn breeze

unwavering frigid rain

last leaf on the tree


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)


This haiku was inspired by the first song on Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, “Last Leaf on the Tree.” and “The Last Leaf,” a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes SR. and a short story called The Last Leaf, by O. Henry.
