The Stone And The Leaf
The stone
falls straight.
Barreling through,
space and time.
Forcing a path.
Transfixed
on a known
destination.
No detours
or distractions.
No chance
encounters.
The leaf
takes its time.
Whimsically floating
through the air.
Exploring
a graceful path.
Too present
to be concerned
with the destination.
Enjoying
the twists and turns.
Trusting the winds.
Delighting
in every surprise
of the journey.
