Time to go ...

It is dark and rainy today
and I hear our mild weather
is departing tomorrow
after clinging
so tenaciously
into this December


my mind wanders


to little birds' feet


 their delicacy


 and intricacy


 as they grasp


 tightly


onto their perch


 until it is time to depart



sort of like my little redbud leaf
small and delicate 
still clinging tenaciously

until 
it also decides 
it is time to go.

I will miss it.
