Some leaves hold fast to the ground
hoping that the wind
won't push them around.
Some leaves never touch the earth
holding tightly to a tree
since the day of their birth
Some leaves hold fast to one another
a barren tree with just two leaves
on the ground clutters the others
Some leaves prefer to fly
spread out like a sail
and riding the winds high
Some leaves defy gravities call
rise to the heavens on a thermal
leaves that do not ever fall
