Maple Keys

We started off as one…

a fluttery spinning satellite.

parted in the winds

broke away by the seasons.

 

These maple roots

needed a scattering,

these sugary visions

yearned to breathe.

 

now we rest,

our dance performed…

 

our whirling wings

set free,

sowing tiny seeds

was our destiny.
