Helplessly We Follow

Ever saw a dry leaf
whirling in the wind
Reminding us of our lives
Like the wind
our fate blows us 
in the direction of our destiny
Helplessly we follow
Sometimes leads us in to dark alleys,
sometimes into beautiful gardens
Helplessly we follow
Life articulates us 
To  just sway in this wind
Without any resistance
Hoping against all odds
that when the wind rests
When it all ends
You will be in a place 
where you always wanted to be
