The Endless Fall

The leaves dance into the wind

Binded by their solemn groove

Their colors flourishing from within

I envy the system in the way they move

A cat springs up for a pounce

Hitting it with a claw that counts

Bringing it back to the ground

It’s destiny is now safe and sound

If only I was that leaf

Depending on only the breeze

I guess I can be like it

I can change myself

and my color with it

But all in all

Can I?

Maybe I can at least try

I’d rather change then die

My destiny not a casket to lie

In the next life

Maybe I’ll be a leaf

My plan dug down to my teeth

I flutter and fly with great ease

Flying softly along the breeze
