Only Here
within this moment
a simple beauty
an ember of fire
floats from the blazing branches
into gentle hands

“I will catch you when you fall”. Such a charming piece. The loving hands stretched forth to catch onto the leaf that is transforming into its next phase. You brought a caring feel to the image. Thank you for sharing!
The final line changed something ordinary into something beautiful.
Something about "into gentle hands" really moved me. Lovely haiku 🍁🍂
Beautiful. A moment literally caught.
