A leaf smirk

Leaf wakes,

Smirk doesn't die;

Darkness garners,

Smirk remains;

Shadow looms,

Earth bound by nature;

Is it there,

When it gets dark?

Sun widens the intensity,

Leaf feels embraced;

Stars colour,

The chromatin pigments;

Water dries,

Dependent on water table;

Sun burns like a copper,

Enjoys the tan;

Gravely laughs,

Smirk doesn't die.
