To Be


a petal falls from the folds of a rose
one at a time, gently, on the breeze
the air barely stirs but to lift it
in its descent:  a little flip, rocking
like a babe in a cradle, sleeping
so does the petal drift in the air
not aware that anyone is taking notice
and yet it does its tender dance steps
to the beat of nature’s heart
without the wish for applause
without explanation or excuse
just that it is and chooses to be
