Leaf upon the lake
Whence did you come?
Casting contrasting colors
Cradled in the sun
You once brought life
To a tree still living
Now you're dead
And yet still giving
A vision of serenity
Existence worry free
Leaf upon the lake, how can you
Draw envy from me?
The waves push you
Without resistance
You float in a
Carefree existence
Crumbling in the hands of time
And yet you find the chance to shine
A blemish? No.
A mark of beauty
Finished with your life-long duty
Now in death you give to me
A vision of serenity
Leaf upon the lake
Whence did you appear?
And why do I now
Hold you dear?
