Falling Leaves Upon the World

I fell forward and clouds passed me as I rushed towards the earth.

I can see the mountains with snow covered tops and evergreen trees

I feel the cool air pass between my fingers slowing my descent slightly

I see rivers flowing into gulfs brimming with life

I see an eagle following my descent with his keen sight

Clouds cover me with the worlds tears both sad and life giving

The ground so far away no longer seems as distant

Homes sprout from the ground giving shelter to loving families

Fires of compassion heat both the body and soul

I open my arms wide to embrace the world in its entirety

The world is so much too so many and so little to so few

And we are blind to its life giving nature

As a babe is blind to reasons of existence

I am but one leaf on the tree of life

Waiting for my slow decent to a beautiful world

Hoping only to make something as grand as life a little bit better
