A leaf in the wind
Being blown around the earth
Catching the currents
It falls forgotten
Never to be seen again
Life ends and begins
Like people living
Or people also dying
People will forget
Lost in history
You will be buried and left
Life will keep going
People will be sad
But in some time that will end
When you die life ends
You are forgotten
But a wisp of memory
Your life has ended
Inevitably
You will be taken away
From the Earth you love
After the crying
Your memory will subside
And then you are gone
Wiped from existence
All memory of you left
Sometimes remembered
Like that flying leaf
Your soaring will be your life
Some time you will fall
Unbelievable
But true death will come for you
We are just like leaves
