The Journey
A leaf in the wind
Floating to and fro
Knowing neither love nor hate
Until those who knew me
Looked upon my face
I had not chosen them
But they peered into my eyes
Until I fell in the bosom of their arms
Landing on a Rock
Where I was broken
A tempest could not move me
Nothing I am
yet I have been chosen
By the never ending
A sphere with no beginning
All who loved me did not leave the choice to me
Hence night and day the world tried
To consume or push me away
To no avail I will stay
This is a overweening place
And words within me are not mine
For I plagiarize the all Knowing
So when I landed I was graceful
My enemies thought they had won
But my love would not allow me to fail
For they knew this leaf before birth
Now I have changed
I shake no more
unafraid waiting for his verb
