To be a leaf
On waters brink
Standing on the banks
Preparing to sink
River flows slowly
Visions are fast
A step into darkness
A dreaded past
Cast off and spin
Surge and swell
This is the end
A darkening knell
In limbo I float
My eyes held tight
Pulling and tugging
A Trojan in fight
Plucky to the last
Unafraid to drown
I’m leaving now
I’m heaven bound
