the leaves believe
such letting go is love
such love is faith
such faith is grace
such grace is god
i agree with the leaves
This poem is very fluid and easy to read. The poem follows each main idea love, faith, and grace from line to line giving the feeling of a leaving falling though the air. The poem is one stanza made of six lines. The poem to me has dual meaning. One is saying good bye to someone who is dead or dying and you are letting go because you love them and have faith that you will see them again. I think that this poem can also be about letting go of your childhood. The leave lets go of its mother the tree and ventures out on its own. Like seeds of plants floating out having faith that they find a home.
It is fluid. She is showing the relationship from one thing to another. I like how you said, "The poem follows each main idea love, faith, and grace from line to line giving the feeling of a leaving falling though the air."
