*Little Leaf


Little Leaf

Oh! The sun shines on you
Little leaf

No sign of puffs to cloud your day
As you flit as you see fit
Little leaf
None save gentle breeze directs you
Affects you
 Little leaf
All eyes are on you 
Each bird upon their bough marvels at your tumble
Gently. Safely. With no need to beat your wings
And the rain shall not strike you
Little leaf

For the tree from which you've grown is a canopy
Yes, its branches stretch and stay there
Thick and sturdy so they are, to block the drops
They all adore you
Little leaf

These creatures and their features
Stop and stare - forget themselves 
As you fall
                                                                                                                 Little leaf
And though you leave your tree today
Proud and tall and standing
The wind shan't cease to whisper 
Keeping you aloft, carrying you 
                           where 
                          you 
                            need 
                           to 
                            go
Nowhere in particular
Little leaf
For oh! The sun shines on you 
Little leaf
As emerald as the envied gem
Who is forever unknowing
Of the soothing breath that's blowing
Your figure to and fro
And so, cascade!
Little leaf
Upon you no caterpillar shall engorge this day
For you are truly free
Little leaf
