A Leaf

A Leaf



 
I was once a fallen leaf on a gentle river, flowing but never knowing
I thought I was the river, gentle and flowing but not knowing I was the leaf
Then a gale of wind blew me up in the sky, howling with uncertainty
I was now a fallen leaf in the wind, running through the sky but not knowing
I thought I was the wind, howling as if it was suffering but not knowing I was the leaf
Then, slowly it dawned on me

I was not the river, I was not the wind, I am just the leaf
No matter where the river flows, no matter where the wind blows, I know I will be back to the earth
The place where it all begins and the place where it all ends
I know, I am a leaf
