Dancing leaves

Dancing leaves

By May Kwek

The wind blew today

As I stood beneath the trees

And I saw a single leaf fall

To the whispering of the breeze

Small and light it was

Green without a care

It left the mother branch

And leapt into the air

The wind caught it as it flew

And danced in flight's ecstasy

Glimmering it shone in the shifting lights

Sparkling for all to see

The others must have seen it

For its joy was simple and plain

And they joined it in the air

Till leaves danced like rain

And so the wind blew today

As I stood between the trees

And the leaves heard its song

And leapt to its melody
