Like a Leaf in the Wind 12/28/2005 1:08:39 PM
Blowing so many ways...
I watched as the wind played with a leaf
Lifting and carrying it a short way
Then dropping it again and again
The leaf acquiesent, had no choice
It went wherever the wind took it
Until wind changes, drops it one last time
It made me think of our own lives
How much we are like the leaf
We let love lift and drop us many times
Whether it be our mates or friends
Or we latch on to someones ideas
Getting caught up in their highs and lows
Some let the random winds of life play them
It isn't the winds fault any more than theirs
Each seems to be following it's course
The difference is the leaf accepts its fate
Most humans prefer to fight tooth and nail
They rebel against any form of control
I sit and ponder which course brings most peace
Some don't think it is so much a wrong or right way
Rather which is the one that gives best results
Yet, we are all of such different temperaments
Diverse cultures, traditions, religions, opinions
Earthly pursuits right for one is wrong for another
Except with questions of eternal life
That's when the rubber hits the road
Then the only choice is faith and follow...or
I wish all of my readers a healthy Happy New Year!
Thank you for all of your input and encouragement!
Love,
Eileen
