the circle of life.

the leaf falls gracefully through the air,
it dances with the wind,
does flip flops over and over,
kisses the sunlight in mid-flight.
as it draws nearer toward the ground, 
the sky goes dark;
a cat jumps and claws at the leaf, 
fraying its beautiful structure.
the wind blows harder now, 
tearing at it with ferocity,
while the rain comes down
and drowns its everything.
it should be done soon, there should be ground.
when the leaf looks around,
it's falling again in the sunlight,
all over again.
