From atop the highest branch
It dances and sways to the beat of the breeze
So peaceful and content
I watch as a leaf slowly floats through
The gaping hole in my chest
Through what was once my heart
From a time when I didn’t have to force it to beat
I watch as a leaf slowly floats away
Dancing and swaying to the breeze
As if nothing ever happened
As it if never went through the war zone
That is my soul.
