fleeting as a leaf - poetry book

Change is everywhere and always. In the trees, clouds, weather, our bodies, feelings, lives.

This human life is fleeting as a leaf, and this collection of poems seeks to capture all manner of fleeting things within it, from the sun glinting through the trees, to a sweeping gust of wind, and the feelings that find us in those glimmering moments.

'Fleeting as a leaf' considers how the seasons within ourselves can be reflected in the seasons of nature, and urges us to embrace the ebb and flow of each phase as it comes and goes.

Everything ends and everything begins. The leaves will fall, yes, but then new leaves will grow again.
