I've seen my life upon a leaf as it fluttered on the wind- Spiraling high then falling low it followed 'round a bend
Of a shadowed avenue long and straight And I wondered then where it would go - As it took to a gust and lifted heavenward it landed softly upon the snow.
I saw my life upon a leaf and I made sure to let it fly All I've known and all I've done this year had passed and I said Good-bye.
Bittersweet indeed. Very poignant, and very well done. I loved the imagery you used here too. This poem really hits home at the heart. Kudos! :)

Thank you, at first I thought this was a random poem as it came to me suddenly and out of nowhere, but after reading it a couple times, I realize that it says something important and actually *does* have meaning...
Glad you like.
