A fallen leafA Poem by Centfie‘Perhaps a person will pick me up and crunch me in the palm into plenty of pieces’
The strong leaf I used to be Had watched others weaken and fall Being trampled on and drying up Or carried away by muddy soles- Even strong leaves fall off eventually
I struggled as my stalk got weaker And the unexpected tearing pain My cries of help me were in vain The timing was wrong but others rejoiced I should have known it was imminent!
If only I could glide up and grow back! Sadly gliding down to the ground A soft wind cooled my soreness My moist will dry up, my color will fade No more suppleness, no more softness
My colleagues continued dancing in the sky I lay still, meditating on my evident loss Fallen further from the sun into the shadow No longer in pain of breaking away but; Wallowing in regret for not being firmer © 2014 CentfieReviews
