A leaf has fallen on your road...
Wandering on the wing of wind,
You have seen it and at the same time
You crushed it by stepping over.
It had no voice to cry out after you,
Neither the power to say how it hurt.
And it has gone lost on the path
And rain and wind have passed over it.
It remained stuck to the ground, and wondered
What would it do if the wind would take it up
And, for a moment, would lay it in your lap ?
But, it stayed there, somewhere...
A leaf has fallen on your road
And who knows how many more will fall ?
But you would never know
And , it will not even cross your mind
That the first leaf that had fallen on your way
Was, in fact - me
