A Leaf Falls

A leaf falls;
no trajedy, no revolution.

A new life is far away
and unknown,
as the world spins.

Friends come and go.
Light is darkness; nothing left to see.
It seems there is
nothing else
to live for, but
I know there must be.

Another moment passes and it’s over,
a new leaf
falls with grace,
and it is wonderful.
It glides with the wind and the comfort of the breeze
is like a new breath, cool and revitalizing.

Suddenly, whatever it was
that crushed me before,
carries me now.

A revolution does occur
when a leaf falls.
