When tired leaves fall
They pray to escape the winds
To escape its taunts
II
They need their quiet rest
Under the tree they have served
To decompose there
III
They don’t need to be
Whisked by an unknown wind to
Unfamiliar lands
IV
Let me be lucky
To fall so quietly without
Heeding to wind’s call
V
Familiar soils have
Familiar termites which are
Gentle with their own
VI
This is a prayer
Wish for future. Let winds swing
Me now than later
