To Fallen Leaves

by Kulbir Bhalla



Awaken and see You're finally free, So don't sit on the ground - You can fly around, Catch the breeze, And do what you please. You can ride a car And go quite far Or sit on a train, See California to Maine. Better still, hide in a plane, And fly to Barcelona, Spain, Or find a cruise ship, Sleek and hip, Explore all oceans, And pamper your emotions. So will you please Catch the breeze And leave my lawn, Preferably by dawn?
