Leaves

leaves of time 

falling...

in curved arks

descending...

closer and closer

to the ground

they become

with each

movement;

and,

when I see

my life

falling too

in such a way,

I wonder

if it is not

nature

that rules

and we

just seem

to follow

her...

without any

disobedience

or discovery

on our own,

save that which

demonstrates

quite clearly

how powerful

she really is.
