少年笔墨(Teen Ink)

If you asked a leaf to tell you their thoughts
They'd say that the trees are quite stuck up
How conceited and arrogant
all because they can touch the crystal sky
So when the season melts into another
and the wind howls
you can hear the leaves wailbegging
and pleading with the breeze
to snag and pull them down to the soil
Leaves will cake the trembling earth
gleefully swept away
and the trees will sob their laments
waiting for the flowers to bloom
and the leaves to sprout their return
Just so they can have someone to talk to
如果你问一片树叶

If You Asked A Leaf
By Moo-lisa, baltimore, MD
如果你问一片树叶它们有何想法
它们会说树木们简直不可一世
它们自负而傲慢
全都因为它们能够触摸到水晶般的天空
所以当季节悄然转换
风儿呼号
你能听见树叶们窸窣如泣
苦苦哀求风儿
扯下它们带向泥土
树叶们欣喜地飘荡
覆盖战栗的大地
而树木们哭叫哀叹
等待着花儿开放
和树叶生长的轮回
这样它们才能有说话的对象
