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
