英文小诗|| A falling leaf

A yellow leaf

falling off the tree.

Spinning in the wind,

it loses its way.

Like a butterfly

finally it can fly.

It dreams to  dance gracefully,

to sing briliantly.

But the fact is

without direction,

it feels lonely and helpless.

Once upon a time

it couldn't wait to say goodbye

to its mother.

It longed for the distance

where it believed existed freedom.

It eagered to leave its home

and to experience the colorful world.

Nobody told it

how dangerous the world is

and how merciless people are.

The naive leaf

just like a homeless kid

misses its family

where it can never return.

A broom sweeps it

into the dustbin.

No one ever sees it again.
