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
