I am

Now, I am

Like a leaf

Carried away by the cold wind

In the harsh winter

With no purpose

No destination

No idea what might lay in front of me.

 

And so, I am

Alone

Floating to the great unknown

I left the tree

I left my mom

But I can hear her begging me to come back.

 

But now, I am

Too far away to look behind

Sliding between strangers

And their good intentions

Hoping that maybe

One of them will see me

And put me in their pocket

And I will make them happy

And I might smile as well.

 

In the end, I am

Resting inside your jacket

And I understand that

All this time I was craving

The warmth of your hands

And now I will wait here

Until I will feel that again.
