A Leaf Upon the River
All that was...
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (9)
Slowly drifting,
Upon currents of life.
Slowly existing,
Eyes open to strife.
Lost, worn by time,
Tired, forgotten in rhyme.
Slowly drifting...

Merely drifting,
Searching, torn...
Merely existing,
Living to be born...
Free of beauty, of shade,
Free of light, to fade.
Fading down the river...
Drifting down the river...
Merely drifting...
