A leaf once wished
to be green
to be yellow
to fly
to be dry
to allow a spider to spin a web
to give a cocoon its bed
to fall on someone’s head
to be crushed before it’s dead
to feel the wind
to be picked up and placed in a book
to know an artist and a poet
to inspire
to make a tree bend
to reach a road’s end
to be a flower’s friend
to touch the moon and the sun
to call itself fun
to be yellow
to fly
to be dry
to allow a spider to spin a web
to give a cocoon its bed
to fall on someone’s head
to be crushed before it’s dead
to feel the wind
to be picked up and placed in a book
to know an artist and a poet
to inspire
to make a tree bend
to reach a road’s end
to be a flower’s friend
to touch the moon and the sun
to call itself fun
It was a lucky leaf after all,
died and got most of the above all.
died and got most of the above all.
