LEAF

I see a leaf

I catch the big leaf

The big leaf is brown

And it has holes

But I don't care it has holes

For I love this big leaf

And as I cradle it in my hands,

I hear a soft whisper coming from the damp air

I am the leaf man, the spirit of leaves

"Oh leaf man! Take me with you,

And let me shine in my leafy glory!" I say

But I know I will never be a leaf

For that would take a miracle

Tears roll down my cheeks and onto my leaf

"I wish ... I could be a leaf..."

As I speak, my tears soak into it,

Making the leaf I hold glow

And in a burst of light, everything has changed

I know I am now one with the leaf

"Thank you leafman spirit." I say

And I rejoice

Cause I am complete

I am happy

I am real

I am a LEAF
