“Left of Leaves”
Floating on the breeze up and down
Green and alive so full of life
The suns rays shining down
It’s warmth protective armor
Days pass like years unwinding with the world passing by
Rainy days provide the knowledge of longevity
Rumors of dancing metal fade away
Too short too long adventures at bay
Connections hold the past to you
Looking back it is too far to see
Held by roots high in the air you see much
A setting sun, a chill in the air, home is calling
Around you new Branches bud
Stretching with time they bring new arrivals
Day of song and scurrying life seems paused
Drying slowly the days seem to shorten
Your aging color begins to show
Young branches still dance in the autumn sun
Slowly you begin to float down
Detached and overwhelmed your time is not over
Drifting in the grass you see past neighbors
As you journey, where, not to know
Looking back is a memory
Looking forward is a sunrise horizon
Transformation begins
