Catch Me Wind
Wait ... please wait
Do not let me fall
Do not let me go yet
I am not ready at all
I watch for the sun
Is leaving so soon
I watch for the rise
Of a harvest moon
I watched from above
A summer and a spring
Destined for a winter
Not as a living thing
And still I await ...
And still I fear ...
My end that comes
This time of year
A chilly morning
A tugging breeze
In time shall do
Just as they please
And crack my veins
And break my stem
After all, who am I
... But one of them
With one life to live
Unlike the tiny acorn
A long time dead ...
A short time born
And there I go ...
Down, down, down
Catch me wind ...
Tousle me around
Lost in a tumble
Into Mother's arms
Passed my siblings
And nature's harms
Bravely answering
To my call of duty
At the height of my
Autumnal beauty
Here goes the life
That I once had ...
Onto soft ground ... O!
That was not so bad!
