The heart of fallen leaves

                                        Tiny heart of fallen leaves
                                     Ensouled in beauty and awe
                                  Beating in the autumn’s bosom
                                  Embracing the seducing sunset
                                      Renouncing their existence 
                                        Waiting to become dust
                                           With grace and ardor 

	                                In whisper of distant hills 	
                                          Far from worldly broils 
                                     Becoming one with the nature
                                     Echoing love and compassion
                                          Imparting togetherness
                                                Eager to merge 
                                           Reflecting eternal unity 

                                             Conveying the truth 
                                   Nothing is separate from the rest
                                           Oceans and sky are one
                                      Fall and bloom, joy and gloom
                                            Are essence and reality 
                                    Nature’s bounty bestows change 
                                                   We shall return 

                                         The pride of barren boughs 
                                          The poise of faded flowers 
                                       Endear me to wiser expressions
                                               Soothing my wisdom 
                                             And sense of endurance
                                       Telling that moments are reborn 
                                                   And all continues
