LIKE THIS IS LIFE by ROY FRISEN

First Line: LIKE A LEAF
Last Line: IS LIFE.
Like a leaf
That falls from shedding bough,
And drifts upon the gentle breeze,
Until a sudden gust
That lifts it far afield,
And sweeps it high to dash against a tree;
Then, battered, floats again
On calmer air,
To heal its wounds
As slowly it descends
To reach, at last, the Mother Earth,
There to return
To that which once it was
Is life.
