A Leaf

a leaf's heart that beats here

beyond mind's clinging time

as it utters purest truth

a symbol of love he is

as leaf sees the world

for all seeking there is

leaf himself all he needs

as a wind when breezes

ever bliss he feels

harmonious sound of sun's rays

as they touch, a leaf feels

leaf enriches a tree, asks for no wishes

yet withers quietly, with a gentle feel

such elegance of leaf's presence

as leaf withers to his beliefs

as he falls, hearing the call

never fears his withering

so lives as he feels
