The Leaf’s Lament
Said the leaf to the sky,
I would learn how to fly,
But I’m shaking like a leaf do I dare?
I would learn how to fly,
But I’m shaking like a leaf do I dare?
Said the sky to the leaf,
It’s a matter of belief
Just jump into my blanket of air!
It’s a matter of belief
Just jump into my blanket of air!
Then the sky sang,
Then the leaf sprang,
And the trees were empty and bare.
Then the leaf sprang,
And the trees were empty and bare.
[Andrew Fusek Peters]

ReplyDeleteMein schöner Baum
ReplyDeletemit den vielen, vielen Blättern
It must be a golden affair.
ReplyDeleteWhere all the leaves taken flight
and filled the sky
sailing slowly
swimming calmly
along the streams of time.
This time of year is perfect for this....wonderful!
