Leaf
i
the river carries
the leaf to destinations
yet undecided
ii
surface floating leaf
unnoticed by the river
inconsequential
iii
the leaf cannot go
where it would choose to travel
it can only ride
iv
powerless leaf
a victim of circumstance
resigns to river’s will
v
in the end the leaf
will succumb to the current
and find it’s ocean grave
River
i
the river carries
the leaf to destinations
only it will choose
ii
no power deters
the strong and steadfast river
it goes where it will
iii
placid river flows
singularly beautiful
firm in it’s resolve
iv
beneath the surface
the thriving river carries
the wellspring of life
v
the river and the leaf
powerful and powerless
destinies contrast
