Life as a Leaf


Walking through the forest

camera in my hand

spreading leaves on the ground

taking pictures of the land


Glancing at the leaves

much to discover

wondering what it would be like

to be one of the pretty colors


Thinking that a leaf

could be named after me

I would float through the air

free as can be


Floating to a haunting tune

twirling in the wind

breeding mystery

till the journey ends


Acting as an island

to a drop of morning dew

filtering through the sun

coloring the day anew


Recycled in the ground

reawakening in the spring

nourishing a bloom

life is a beautiful thing
