Leaves

Leaves, Leaves, Leaves,
Falling down all around.
Wind whips them off their trees
and they whirl through the air
not knowing whrere they'll land.
Sometimes these leaves remind me of my heart.
I used to know the feeling.

I used to feel the breeze, i used to let it move me.

leaves, leaves, leaves
falling down all around.
Vibrant colors full of life,
each leaf its own music,
each raindrop its delight.
Joy fills these leaves.


I know these leaves are like my heart.

I used to be vibrant and full of life.

I used to be my own muse. I used to have joy.


So...just like these leaves who know how to sing their own songs.
who know how to be beautiful just as they are,
I know I am what they are.


Instead of becoming what was, I will love what is.

leaves, leaves, leaves
falling down all around.
the wind dances with them,
the branch says, "Goodbye."
The old was good, but now is gone,
making room for more beautiful leaves to come
