Drifting Leaves

outside my little world, life is all purpose

and somewhat consuming as it dictates

one's brief exposure to it...  an

awareness of just eough to keep us alive

but not enough to see much farther beyond

our different noses...  we move silently

in and out of darkness when betrayed by light

diming our thoughts and actions into tasks and

deeds only necessary for one's survival...  if

there is more, it is never shared, or never left

behind for us to find on our own which would

ultimately give us ownership in the process;

inside my little world of life is brief and

sometimes rather pointless as it meanders

along on its journey like a leaf floating in a

swift stream on its way to nowhere inparticular

as long as it is not returning to where it has been...

life parallels the crumbling of the leaf and

its subsequent drowning in life's waters or

shared in a conscioius state and never allowed

while germinating in the womb...  and like

the leaf our brief life is not without colors as we

add to the beauty of it all, providing enlightenment

to those who are without light, living in the dark

darkness of the dusty sould that has never been

given its opportunity to mature and plant roots;

our endless journey begins at birth and is transformed

into something else at death but like the leaf it

offers continuity while drifting down the stream.
