One Leaf

One leaf stood out to me-
Red as an apple,
Better than the rest.
The only leaf
red as an apple,
One leaf blowing in the wind.

It finally broke off and I ran to catch it
so it wouldn't fall to the ground;
But when I did
My brain over-flooded
and I set it back down,
My heart beating in too much excitement.
