A Leaf

A Leaf


 


I


Am


But a leaf


In time’s wind; gusting at


Moments; soft, silent zephyrs of melancholy swaying


At other times, filled with dreams and schemes


And needs versus desires…


Falling, then flying, but always falling


Then twisting in pirouettes of free-style drifting, fleeing, seeking, always searching


Yet, oblivious to it all…lost in the moment of the fall…lost to the design


Of my ways, my pointed, prickly ended efforts and failures…


Only aware in this time, in this span


Of falling simply


That


I am


Dieing


    Only As 


A leaf …

This one is crafted so well and meaningful a delight to have read tonight.

Reviewed by Tactfully Naive 11/4/2006
Very poignant reflection on the duration and spiraling nature of our lives - less a calamity bringing it to an abrupt end. The bible describes our lives as vapour, mist or a flower that wilts and withers. Your falling leaf analogy fits ably.
