The Leaf Has Fallen
THE LEAF HAS FALLEN
From its highest beauty place,
The sunrise and the sunset, nothing was missing,
Light rains, warm airs, indeed there was no gales,
How did you fall?
From being cured,
The love and the joy, fighting not,
Time, space, certainly there was no ignorance,
Why did you fall?
The season came, immediately strong wind blows you away,
Burning sun forays, in due cause you shrank,
Heavy rain parted us, instantly you were on the ground,
Don’t you think the soil will erode?
Be there for a while, sooner or later you’ll be my guano,
Deep down, through my roots you’ll become my leaf again.
