The way leaves dance as the wind blows
Puts me in a better state of mind
As I remember the simplicity of everything
Before growing into a society filled with doubt
They move freely without a worry
Just like the clouds
They float along in happiness
Nothing to get in their way
Nothing to stop them from doing what they do
But we humans can’t be so perfect
We can’t be so free
Yet we have our minds, and that is what we dream

The author's comments:
I was outside with my notebook and it was a very windy day. I noticed how the wind would make the leaves pick up and twirl back down. Then i looked up at the bright sky and noticed how the clouds could just float along so freely and nicely. I wish the way we live today could be like that.
