LEAF

What’s your identity? I asked to a fallen leaf

Expected an answer against the rules of nature.
However to my great surprise, it replied

“I am just like you, a fallen leaf"
“I descended from the tree on a trip to Earth
I was carried away with the wind, unaware of my future

I visited the top of the mountains with great pleasure

And experienced the sand at the beach with humble leisure.

I swam over estuaries in search of bank’

I flew high in the sky unaware of land.

I wandered the entire earth

Remained unsatisfied with what I acquired.

Ultimately, I reached my destination

To my end in the cave of death

I collapsed and ascended towards heaven

Leaving the faint signs of my presence.

My corpse was buried in the earth

And I returned what I owed from birth.
