Ode to Leaves

1.

A dew on a leaf

Rolls down into dust

Leaf sighs for its departure

Dust thinks it immersed in a love tear

2.

A ray of sunshine stops

On a beautiful leaf

Bringing light and warmth

The leaf, waving, answers the sun

With tears as vapor

The sun, confused, sets in the west.

3.

A cloud falls in love with a leaf

And turns itself into a rain

Splattering ans splattering

In desire to knock her heart open

But the leaf lower itself

To let the drops down

4.

In solitude, a leaf sings

The flower nearby complains about the noise

You are just serving as my contrast

Before I open my mouth

How dare you sing?

The leaf stops its singing

And withers and withers

Till the flower dies

And then it revives

Waiting for the flower

To bloom again humbly

5

After death, a leaf falls into dust

With fear and sorry

“when I was shining, I wasn't in your arms!”

The dust answers:

You was a grain of dust

Now you returned home.

The leaf softly melt into dust.

6.

You are my glory

The tree says to the leaves

Which answer in chorus:

You are my love

With this, leaves patter the tree

7.

A leave is plucked by a child

The tree quivers for that

No one could feel it

But the leaf can

So it soon dies.

8.

What a leaf likes most to do

Is to keep quiet and silent

Protecting the flower to bloom

And giving shade to passersby

But the flower will despise him

And the passersby, pluck him.

Never will the leaf give up his mission

Never will it hate the flowers and the passersby

But they need to revive to accomplish its mission.

9.

The moment you understand a leaf

You understand the life
