How I Long to Dance with the Leaves

Today was a very windy today tearing all the fall leaves from the safety of their brances.  I would think that falling from so high, they would shrivel in fear, but an amazing thing happened while I was watching.  They danced. They caught the wind & floated down only to fly up in a gust of wind. I watched them twirl around, take leaps over large spaces of air & fly away. How happy they seemed.  How I want to fly & twirl & dance like the leaves.
