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!
