~
When I was a child;
someone told me, falling leaves
were love letters mild.
Oh, the things we believe.
~
Love letters from whom?
From God, Mother Nature, Father Time?
Love letters from lovers doom?
Love letters, all mine.
~
Should I run after them, catch them in my hand?
If I catch a leave, will it bring real love?
Should this be my plan?
If I chase love, will it fly away like a dove?
~
One leaf. One love. One letter.
Will this wish; this promise stand.
One leaf. One love. One letter.
If I pull, will you lead me with a strand?
~
Should I stand under this tree?
Love, rain down.
Should I let the love come to me?
Love that is never to frown.
~
Love, rain down. I’ll catch you when you fall.
I will not trample over you.
Love, rain down. We will have a ball.
I will not grind you into dust. Love, rain down. I don’t want to be blue.
~
One leaf. One love. One letter.
~
Blow on the wind, leaf. I will catch you.
Trust me.
Love, rain down. Give me all the clues.
The past. The future, I do not see.
~
Love, rain down.
I’ll catch you.
A love so sound.
A love fresh as dew.
~
A childish fantasy. A thoughtful whim.
One leaf. One love. One letter.
Imagination to the brim.
Love, rain down. Make all things better.
~
More leaves? More love?
Should I chase you with a net?
Letters falling from above.
Or on the ground should I set.
~
Cover me leaves of love.
Love, rain down.
I’ll lay still. I will not shove.
All the love to make a crown.
~
I chased you. You chased me.
Love rained down.
I caught you. Did you catch me?
Promise me love, don’t make me a clown.
~
One leaf. One love. One letter.
Light as a feather in my hand.
To fill my heart, no fetters.
Don’t slide through my fingers like sand.
~
One leaf. One love. One letter.
