I want to be a leaf.
A tiny leaf atop a tall tree,
where darkness holds no sway,
where the stars shine during long nights,
where the sun can warm me on tough days.
I want to watch as foxes run,
to hear the wolves howl at the moon,
to feel the wind and rain on me,
to be one with nature.
I want to live the life of a leaf
without suffering and pain,
to be at peace and feel safe
when I bloom and when I fall.
