A LEAF FALLS by LOU MALLORY LUKE

First Line: THE LYRIC RUSTLE OF A LEAF
Last Line: SHALL CLAIM ETERNITY!
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE; LEAVES; RETRIBUTION; ETERNITY; AFTER LIFE;
The lyric rustle of a leaf
In falling to the earth
Is but the breath of victory
Declaring a new birth.

And if a leaf can sink to rest
With song of certainty,
I, too, with slipping of my breath
Shall claim eternity!
