Leaf

Springs’ call — I rise from my slumber exhilarated by the sound of life awakening.

On my tree.

I look around and see many friends all of us young and eager

but where are the others?

Those with the experience of yesteryear, they have gone — vanished as if never here.

In the gentle sun I stretch and glory with all my friends to live my story

but what will happen me when I too gain the experience of yesteryear?

Will someone greet me or will I just fall

to vanish as if never here at all?
