I am a leaf fallen from the tree,
The big wide world for me to see,
From the tall mountain peaks,
To the mighty rivers and clear creeks.

I was happy that I was finally free,
A travelling nomad, who I always wanted to be,
Along the way I met friend,
I believed, we will be together till the end.

Just as it came, it left me without a trace,
The joy and sorrow, without it I must face,
I counted the minutes, hours and days,
One day it came back like warm rays,

Being next to its side, the eternal joy I find,
Spending all eternity, I wouldn’t mind,
A tribute to my dear friend,
“The Gentle WIND”
