I wish I was leaf that was floating free
As it rains and shines and flies like a bee
Erratic in the wind yet gentle on the ground
In a cycle of the seasons it is forever bound
Twisting and curling as it goes from scorching to bitter
Stuck on a branch in the breeze it will flitter
Iridescently green to shining bronze
To be a leaf in a crisp puff of air my heart longs
Or perhaps to have a budding rose sitting beside me
To be glided through the air and landing on the sea
Frigid winter frost grazing upon my skin
Droplets of rain dancing with my kin
Making a chorus, a symphony as we swish and sway
Bright and vibrant in every which way
Living and dying as the seasons come and go
Forever bound to the earths natural flow
