Leaf
Little leaf
You are far from home
Do you remember your brothers and sisters
Fanned across the sky
Like a great green headress.
Do you remember being one of many
But many of one
All connected to the great trunk
Of Life.
Do you remember the dark damp earth
Beneath sight of sun
The roots tangling
Drinking.
So far from you,
But still you.
Do you remember, little leaf
So far from home
That the whole world
Runs in your veins?
