Life Of A Fallen Leaf.

Plucked, by me, by you,

crushed beneath the shoe.

Rises again with winds, then falls,

reaches a distance, flies or crawls.

Lives a life then dies and lives,

Your glory again birth gives.

Wind, the killer, the birth giver,

the shiver of life, the shake of death.

The first inhale and the last breath.

In a way, the simplest things move and interact with the world in a much greater capacity than us. Leaves have seen places I could only dream of going, Thier life, however exciting, damaging, ragabash, is understood. To crush a man, a snail, a dog, or a snake, is so tabboo to most, but a leaf, though it boasts the same earthbound future, is ignored. "Wind, the killer, the birth giver..." I felt better remembering that I wasnt the only one who plucked leaves, and I loved this line. We all serve a purpous, and by all I mean all.

really beautifully written,
Rises again with winds, then falls, reaches a distance, flies or crawls.

Well done!

So main simple acts of nature are unappreciated for their beauty.
A very sweet poem.
