A stray leaf spirals the nighttime
knocks upon the windowsill
While tiny towns all slept
Came the wandering winds' keen wail
I slip outside with a wave of winds
Walk for what felt like forever
Trail each turn the wind would take
Not to the edge of something new
But right back to the forest, I ran
And stood with the silhouette
of a tree by the light
Glow in the dark stars
Sat where I first started the night
I listen to close silence
I'm sure that heard this before
Take a deep breath now,
Leaves worries behind
And,
run your bare feet through
the grasslands
Let the grass be a soft bed,
When can't bear to stand,
And,
learn how to breeze the breath
Let out stories of yours
to the elm and, the pine
Let a stray leaf hold your sorrow
Rave of your tales,
stay up all the night
Waiting for when the sun says
hello to the moon
Velvety morning greet my newly
Not want to leave but I've to awake
I learn what is the feelings of leeway
A stray leaf whispers to me,
Life could be like this all the time.
