Leaf

Raised at the edge

Flourished 

Full of color and wonder
Therefore I am

The rain helped nourish my soul

Radiation fed my hunger

My warmth

The older I became the higher I was

Peering to my friends below,

And all around

Trembling in the wind

Well seasoned I did begin,

To feel a chill coming from the end

A change in the tone I once grew accustomed to

From Illuminated green to mellow brown

My life detached from mother

From the life force

To hit the ground

To lie in wonder, to fly

Away with the breeze, the heavens

Never to be seen again for I am set free.

I am Leaf.
