Drifting Lfe

 tossed back and forth
a wilted flower floated
in whirling currents
life moves on rudderless
to be cast in unknown shores

And so starts a new colony, a new land, 'unknown shores' - 'amid whirling currents, life moves on rudderless', and so true, how do we know what our future holds? Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Valsa, in such a short amount of space, you managed to communicate some profound meanings. Indeed, nature possesses a great deal of inventiveness.

I like how you've captured how we can see ourselves in the ebb and flow of nature. May the wayward leaf find comfort on the nearest shore. ~ Gershon... (btw: Check your title on this one for a second).
