The Leaf

A Poem by Daniela Anna

I am a leaf that follows a simple rhythm… Life's dance and its winders

I am a leaf that follows a simple rhythm…
Free to dance with the wind, and flow with the river…
A charmed adventure whichever direction I take.

Embrace me in your bosom for my heart seeks your pulse…
For I have heard the voice of warmth blowing on the summer breeze…
“Come’’ it beckons, for the journey begins where your imagination ends.

A sweet musical sound echoes filling the air…
Perched on a branch you are singing to me…
Captured in a moment, soon I must go.

To spread my wings and feel the air through my core…
To reach heights that will breathe into my being and help me soar…
I am here for now and knowing that you’re here too, I can’t ignore.

As I freely float about, your presence is besides me…
Joy within beckons me further on my journey…
Night is falling and the sky sparkles like diamonds.

Plucking at the infinite possibility of time…
Accepting that my moments are like the memory of a breath…
Each inhale the existent of life and its limitless space.

Exhaling, treasuring it, this simple existence…
I kick up my heels with excitement…
Cascading in, I welcome in that loving light through and around me.

I have become that which I would recognize in heaven…
My face the light of the moon, my heart the colors of the universe…
I am who I set out to be to you, LOVE.

Beautiful words, conjuring up a magic carpet ride of adventure and freedom.
What it would be like to one day realise that far from being held in place, you have grown wings to see the wold.
A wonderful Collab.Very well done to you both.
