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
