Poetry: A Leaf's Tale

Swinging to and fro
on invisible strings,
caught between heaven and earth,
you shake like a lost ghost.

You took your chance
and took to the wind,
praying that luck would see you through,
only to hang in between.

You could have done nothing different,
putting on your bright red suit and
headed for your date with destiny.

A lifetime later you landed
and began the mission anew.
A white blanket draws over you,
but you begin planning the next thaw.

Will you be different from your mother,
or be the same as her and those before?
No, you're unique and special,
and will grow strong and true.
