With the forces of the wind pressing against your back
Moving along while your past is under attack
Situations can be critical, but don't think too long
Make a motion to stop the enemy when they invade your home
Push with confidence, find strength from above
The power of nature is not what you dreamed of
Have a bargaining chip unleashed from your mouth
Pray for forgiveness; it's what life's all about
Remain steadfast; don't puncture your life away
In the end, everything will be alright more and more every day
the eye-catching leaves
strutting in the gentle breeze~
November spotlights
leaves spin to silence
as they sway among the trees~
bright thirsty blossoms
floral leaf coated
make a motion to the stream~
golden craving blooms
cold first migration
a white feather falls gently~
as opposed to drift
