Holding on For years; Dangling Fighting Struggling, Through snowy Decembers, Lights strung up branch to branch, Through awakened April's tulips reaching skyward Through smoggy Augusts Blonde beauty's sunbathing in the grass The leaf had seen it all But in the blink of an eye The tree became old The roots became withered As did the leafs grip on the branch And a final autumn Came to rest in the air And the leaf began Reminiscing of being green And full of life again, It continued to let go More And more, Until one day, the leaf fell from the tree. Brown And shriveled Falling And sailing Through the breeze. Once the leaf changed its color, It did not go back. The leaf will never be attached To the branch ever again. So there it stayed, Lying on the ground Tossing and turning, For another eternity. ----------------------- He seems happy I should just let go
