Feeling Like A Leaf

the wind whipped by the wind-blown branches nearly barren save for a few leaves clinging to an ounce of life.

a dried-up leaf floats atop

a drying-up puddle with

grey clouds reflecting around and

grey clouds hovering above.

the clouds will roll by

and the cloud-grey puddle will slowly fade

leaving the leaf to be stepped on

by someone who enjoys the crunch.
