Leaf

Leaf falls swinging in the air Lifeless and mindless and go where ever Only to crush and can’t be link To the shoot that bears Once slip and gone forever Leaf that floats on air As if to stretch the gap Between heaven and earth But can’t resist the greater force That calls from the soil All leaf shall share the same fate As if to ornament the earth Of never ending foliage But just above the tip of the twig Covered with dew is a new green sheet
