Don't be sad because sad backwards is das and das not good.


The wind blows the branches above me

Sending leaves drifting through empty space

Like the thoughts in my head

Ebbing and flowing.


I watch as the leaf floats down to the earth

Watch as it makes contact with the earth

Gently lays on the surface 

Like a feather touch.


My thoughts aren’t like that

They push at the walls of my head

Aching to get out

Unknowing of the world, and unwitting. 


I can’t control my thoughts

Anymore than I can control the wind

As gentle as that leaf lay

I mourned that my mind couldn’t mirror it.
