I wonder,
does the leaf that lingers
whisper to the ones
still tucked in tight buds?
I think I heard it say
“Behold the sparkles on the stream!
That shall be your work:
You must catch that light
and feed it to the rest."

Daily Tip: Stamp your Visible layers. Instead of flatten all layers in order to edit everything on a new one, you may consider to Merge Visible Layers by holding down the Ctrl, Alt, Shift and the letter E simultaneously to create a new layer on top of the stack. Another method to do the same, but with a bunch of extra options is via menu Image > Apply Image.

Blown down on the Autumn breeze
From its kingdom in the trees
Guided by fate's sweet hand
Down below, where it does land
On the stone, without a sound
Where it rests and is found
Like a hand inside a glove
Half down below, half still above
Waiting to find a place to go
Surf the stream, sail and flow
Below the towering beauty of the trees
Blown along on the Autumn breeze
