I am a leaf
A ballerina in the sky
Floating on my journey
There so up and high
I began to wonder
How high can I fly
Or if could get on that steep mountain
Without tearing up and dying
I know this might be strange
For you and for me
That I came for a big
Tall willow tree
I have a lot of friends
But departed for them all
When it turned to fall
My brothers and sisters fell of first
Screaming in delight
Going down and going back up
Dancing in the light
Then thunder happened clashing clouds
There was bright sun in the sky that continued for days
As you might not like how that sounds
But we still kept floating high above the ground
One by one each one of us where picked up
We were thrown away and torn
Only a few didn’t
Have that happen to themselves
And now as I am
A very old man
My journey ended
A faithful trip
As I completed my mission
But I will be born again
On a spring night
You might ask how I will
Or where will I be
I don’t know where my siblings are
I forgot about that tree
Is this the end of your life you might question
Ask God not me
