"A Chlorophyll Filled Death"
I am a leaf, blowing in the wind, I am a sturdy, yet failing leaf. I am alive, But why --------- I live because of The chlorophyll Wrapped in my digestive tract -- Of a leaf! I will live and keep on living, Until I die. When? A question -- How long is a leaf's life -- LONG? or SHORT? Death is slowly creeping upon me, Yet I feel no death. DIE ----------------------------------- Yet I feel the wind will bring my fate. A fate, but an adventure. Here I feel I will be gone before the morn. WHEN. It is here. A wind. A breeze. -------------I am dead----------------
