#024 : Autumn Leaves

A Mid-Week Post

Observing the leaves freely dancing in the autumn breeze

One soon realizes that they aren’t as free as they appear

For they are dependent on the branches of the trees

Bound by their reliance on the branch


Never is a leaf more free than it’s moments floating on a breeze

So, in time, when the leaves are ready, they’ll depart

To savor their long awaited independence

To become something new for the remainder of their days

We are free when we depart that which confines us

To embrace newness through our remaining days

One must decide for them selves where true freedom lies

In reliance of “branches” or on the breeze of independence
