Fallen

I am shooting stars from my window grill tonight...

Shooting stars which might turn my wishes true.

The other day, those rumbling leaves asked me

"Why does the world find beauty in our fall?"

I had nothing as an answer, I murmured whatsoever

"You make space for the newborn,

You are the hope for rebirth

And that is the most beautiful thing you can give us."

They fell. Surely.

But this time they signed off

with a smile;

Kissed the ground, the damp soil

And then the seeds lying around

Sunk into the mud- their blood and then it happened...

The soil snuggled the posterity of the earth.

The leaves diffused into the soil,

Like a naked soul dancing around with joy

To celebrate the love of God, the gift of life

And here I am, gazing at the sky, awaiting the dawn

For it will mark the beginning of another fall,

All over again.
