The Leaf in the Current


Slowly, peacefully,
A yellow leaf drifts in a quiet pool.

Silently, imperceptibly,
The pace of the stream quickens.

Unexpectedly, frighteningly,
Rocks loom in the path.

Painfully, swiftly,
The rapids of the river churn.

Uncontrollably, unimaginably,
Falls plummet to the ground.

Surprisingly, sweetly,
The leaf re-surfaces to continue its journey

By the power of an unseen current.
