Looking up
from a bed of dead leaves
through the branches of the tree
as they filter the sun
I’ve decided not to run
Embracing life

Yes; very beautiful. I was trying to decide whether you could drop the last line, because "decided not to run" is very powerful, but it can't be done. It's only when you read the last that you understand the former.
