Leaves

This is a tree that lives in the open. 
On mountains, in grasslands  
In sunshine they fight 

The shadows are dark like a black clouds storming 
The raindrops are shining and spiderwebs crawling  
Jacarandas are shedding the shades of blue 
Playing and flying like lorikeets do 

The branches are long, touching the sky 
The leaves at the top are floating up high 
Freedom and floating, Feeling like falling  
Sunshine on leaves with raindrops of dew

Jumping little creatures crawling through the grass 
caterpillars sliding rapping a cocoon  
Feeding through what they can find 
In a forest of green deep dark greens.
