Freefalling
by Judy Gruenfeld
I want to be
where winds blow free,
and raindrops kiss the trees.
Where leaves of brown,
with unheard sounds,
fall softly as a breeze.
Where night time skies
amaze the eyes
with stars that gleam and glisten.
And streams flow down
without a sound
and beg someone to listen.
'Tis there
I'll make my final bed,
with heart and soul at peace
And on a cloud
as soft as down,
will let my breathing cease.
