Dancing In the Stars
She had been swaying in the gentle breeze
singing softly in the coolness of the night air.
she danced gracefully reaching for the stars
as they sparkled upon her body without a care
she fluttered about in the now stronger wind
that made the dancing a little more energetic
she looked to the sky to see the happy moon
smilin’ on her soul making her feel so electric
she began to float away from her stable place
where it was the only home she really knew
she did not care as she flew in to the starry sky
above the forest plants covered in night dew
she smiled as the wind blew her above the world
towards the stars shining brightly at her heart
she reached out to touch the oh so pretty things
when they seemed to drift away as if to depart
she began to dance in a twirl as she glided down
back towards her home amongst the natural trees
she darted to and fro as she neared the forest
almost landing into a large hive of angry bees
she saw her home in front of her and reached out
but she continue to fall gently towards the ground
she landed softly with sadness in her gentle soul
and laid there for a while not making one sound
she died with her soul full of a million smiles
knowing her life was happy, no matter how brief
she saw the stars in her heart to bring happiness
even though she was the very first autum leaf
