Fallen Leaf

Solitude was my joy

Silence was my strength

And then unknowingly I crept into the fancy world carrying all my love.

I chose a branch, a branch that I thought was strong to swing

Litte did I know I was an old leaf, to be accepted by the tree.

No! said the tree,

I can’t bear an old leaf, amidst my young green leaves.

I was swept by the strongest wind, wrinkled and cracked covered by the darkest dust.

I returned to my solitude, I returned to my joy.

One day I’ll dust myself and high I’ll fly…
