Carpet of Fallen Leaves, Diary of the Universe

The ginkgo trees
drop their final leaves.

This carpet of fallen leaves is also a
treasure overlooked by someone.

Amidst the footsteps of people rushing by,
I stop and listen closely.

The wind carries a distant premonition of winter.

The city's bustle and the
cold air that pierces the heart are all part of the
diary of the universe.

A
message addressed only to me.

If I touch it with a pure heart, a
truth that no one else notices will gently reveal itself.

The sigh that person let out, and the
shadow crossing outside the window, are all
fragments of a treasure map.

Casting aside distracting thoughts and accepting things
as they are with
honesty is the key that
fulfills me.

There is no longer any need to look for
answers on the outside.

Because at this threshold of winter, I am
fulfilled.

May you have a heartwarming day today as well!
