A Mighty Secret

Tiny secret above the mighty air Ever happy caressed with gentle love I played with the wind mighty as none could A dash of light green that was my colour Moving not when the seasons seem to change Praised for my strength and loved for my beauty I showed the might of a warrior rich Now showed a serious little yellow The winds flew and the seasons changed around The rains wet me and summers made me dry I was brown deep still keenly respected Now stooped down to the earth that will hold me A strong wind now pulled me down towards it These dried leaves, what a nuisance, said a voice!
