Golden Leaf

life is but a dream nothing more

for some it is good
others bad
a dream nonetheless for all,
we can fight it
accept it or
ignore it if we choose
the conclusion still remains;
we are forced into life
foreced into death
free to do in between...
life owes us nothing
takes all we have,
we bitch and scream
it never changes or is deterred;
we dream of rivers boats
floating down a stream,
not realizing we are already
on a golden leaf that is
almost about to tumble.
