A leaf's journey

I fly across the glamorous glistening water 
Through the meadows 
Over the houses 
Leaving my home behind. 
When I land at my new home 
I know it will soon become a memory. 
When the next gust of wind comes I will move.
Another journey. 
Another home. 
I lie under that apple tree
Confused on why I have to always move. 
I wonder if my old home has changed at all. 
I change homes multiple times a day. 
When the winter comes
I'm trapped under a cold frigid coat  
With no family to warm me 
No friends that I keep 
Just me and sometimes my reflection. 
I learned to not grow a bond or trust others. 
They will always leave. 
We will always separate. 
Another big wind comes. 
Another journey. 
This is my life 
For I am just a leaf.
