The Faces in the Leaves

I was feeling stuck, even tho I wasn’t really –

I was in bed, but far from sleepy.

Within the leaves outside the wind blew a concoction – so creepy,

I saw a hundred little leaf monsters smile and greet me!

At the time I didn’t care or not if they were what we call “real,”

it was more about the visual, and about my inner feels

I was reeling from seeing these beings, just, being

so casual and cheery with me, I felt like I had nothing to conceal.

Some looked like dragons, they were cool af, just vibin’,

Others were small and all stood in a crowd together, like a choir almost,

It looked like there was a party on that tree and I was invited,

and eventually I got there, after closing my eyelids. -RSM
