Fall

Leaves fall
Like distant memories
The sway of trees reminds me of days when my heart was full and green

On my path
I came across a final ending
The voice of the world instructed me that this would be my own last mending

I let out a cry
To pierce the hearts
Of all my betrayers
But my voice could not start

And no matter how much
Strength i gave
No venom could escape me
As i approached my grave

The curtain falls
On all my memories
The path behind me disappears and now there are only all my dreams

And finally
I realize
That all i had been searching on this path for was right before my eyes

And yet i feel no grief
For i am but another leaf
Briefly given the gift of life
And cast away from the tree of strife

And no fear can grip me now
And to my fate i choose to run
For my destiny is among the stars
I’ve glimpsed the beauty of my setting sun

My body falls
Upon warm earth
For the final rest of my weary soul now fills my heart with mirth

And having journeyed
Through this course
I close my eyes finally and return to the source
