As the Leaves Fall

as the leaves fall maybe, i drive endlessly...to nowhere just to get out, and lay in the grass, beneath a tree, stealing its loneliness. at peace, for now with emptiness, looking through branches, and counting the leaves i never got to where, i wanted to be... and its so far from here, but its still a leaf on the tree... the most precious one... the one that never falls as the rest crash down i am smothered completely but my mind still holds tight the leaf i once found always adored and forever cling to
