Shimmering Leaves
Looking high at the top of a tree
Leaves glisten dancing in the sun
Seems the rest of them stand shaded
Quiescently as their day is done~
Giant Fichus grows steadily higher
Gaining momentum in the bright sun
Extending branches lingering out
A thick winding trunk of merging fun~
Piling underneath this grand tree
Fallen dead leaves bathe in the sun
Congregating turning to mulch
One more purpose they’re almost done~
Imagining superb life unfair
Comparing life to leaves in the sun
Like the sparkling trees tallest leaves
Position has bearing on every one~
