.
High amid a cloud
Lofty was the view
Where I was born
Child of one and two

Transparent nature
Without sin
Curse me not
Nor my kin

Captured by gravity
Plummeting down
Time suspended
Nearing the ground

Journey interrupted
Halted by a tree
Dangling on the tip
Of a green waxy leaf

Destiny commands
Eventual demise
Remaining essence
Begins to rise

Vaporous afterlife
Cycling forever
Becoming again
Our liquid savior
