A Poem - Fall Expectations - revised
Fable and Poem
Finnally remembered my password to logon on!
With leaf rake in hand
I set out to the yard
To gather the leaves
That had blown from afar.
.
A wind sent leaves swirling
Untamed by my effort
Moments of calm
Brought false hope and some comfort.
.
Waiting whirlwinds
Teased and laughed all the while
To dash my expectations
Of neatly stacked piles.
.
I accepted the futility
Of gathering every one
So with new-found wisdom
I gently helped them along.
.
Realizing that life
Is an attempt at neat piles
And that one fierce wind
Can scatter dreams for a mile.
.
Wouldn't it be better
If all could agree
To just help them along
As they fall from the tree.
Pardon my duplicate "slap" as I could not recover my password. Now let us hope I can remember it again ... senior moments! I had trouble with the spacing and no matter what I tried it insisted on double spacing. This is my first poem.
