A Dreamer or A Floater

Like a leaf floating in a brook
Bouncing, bobbing no direction
Has no say, can’t even look
No destination no prediction.

That’s how some live their life
Not taking charge just float along
Wondering why they have such strife
Always singing that sad song.

Not for me that’s not my way
Oh yes there’s still lots of strife
But in this life I have my say
This little leaf runs his life.

Against the shores at full steam
Against the current if I must
Live MY life yes and dream
Can’t sit still and just rust.

Now you can just float along
But for me strive I must.
You can float and sing your song.
But as for me watch my dust.


Luke

Couldn't have written it better myself. That picture brings back memories of a half-mile ride through autumn trees on a calm, warm afternoon. That kind of floating sure is good for the soul.
