Life's a Journey.
Aimlessly drifting.
Swept along, with the erratic current.
Like an autumnal leaf.
Curled up, a withered brown.
In stark contrast,
Against the dark flowing water.
Racing against time .
Whilst rain ,and snow cause,
The currents to speed up,
to fluctuate .
Until you slip into a backwater eddy.
Where eventually ,
the crisp curled leaf.
Absorbs too much water,
and slowly sinks ,
beneath the surface.
Life's journey done.
