Leaf Life Lovingly

Saga of a sagacious leaf

A toss of the coin, A flower or a leaf, Yawning I wake up, With the first ray.

Surrounded by kin, So protected, By the wind, I feel I can win.

I sprout my, Wings green, And spine, Tiny and shiny.

I grow too fast, Too easily, Not knowing, Of tide of time.

A moment goes, Through and, I turn from green, To yellow.

The fading of my, Green life, To the frailty of, Yellow that I get.

For all the time, I stood on the twig, So erect and proud, Today my feet feel weak.

The wind blows, Much faster, Today for me, Disant moment of peril.

A strong gust and, I fly away from my, The brown beautiful, home of mine.

Never to know again, Or to touch, Never to see, My home again.

It pains somewhat, But I also see the, World wide ahead, The dotted lives.

I am flying, I think, I am free, For the first time.

The wind slows, So does my flight, And I fall again, To my plight.

I lay lifeless, On the sidewalk, Daily you walk on, Not knowing my saga.

I know of happiness, I know of pain, I know of freedom, I know of consequences.

All needs to be experienced, And yet you fear daily, The life you fear of, Speaks of it daily.
