A single leaf drifts on the stream
A fragile vessel chasing a dream
The current whispers soft and slow
Carrying stories well never know
Its golden edges tell of time
A silent witness to natures rhyme
It floats through shadows light and clear
Neither bound by place nor fear
Across the waters it gently sways
Dancing with sunlight in endless ways
It knows no end it claims no start
Its journey flows with an open heart
The leafs brief flight so light and free
Is life itself a mystery
Through endless winds and waters wide
Its quiet beauty will abide
