I have been blessed by the sun
Nurtured by the rain
Caressed by the wind
In my fullest glory
I was a proud crimson
My color emanated brightly
For all to see
My host, the tree flaunted me with pride
Then came the day
The wind turned cold
He never caressed me
In fact he blew hard
Shaking me from my clutch
I had on my host
I began to spin
I felt my downward spiral
Time slowed instantly
I spun downward
The skies above me spinning up and away from me
My host spinning away from me
I felt lonely
Down. down and further down
I tumbled and spun
Seemed like a lifetime
Of spinning and falling
Then suddenly it stopped
I looked around me
I was no longer alone.
Plunge of a leaf
