Leaf on the Wind

Floating in the breeze, like a dandelion tuft.

Rushing over the ground, like a wandering leaf.

Falling from the sky, like a raindrop. 

Skittering into the night, like a spider.

 

Butterfly nets to catch my thoughts, 

Bear traps to hold them still. 

How to catch a thing that doesn't want to be caught, 

Spilled ideas, wanting to fill

 

This brain of mine to the brim

But unable to keep the pace,

Can't quite catch up,

The Turtle won't win the race. 

 

Like squeezing water

Or touching air, 

Impossible.

Yet still there.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Why is it that I get creative whenever I sit down to do schoolwork? The mind boggles.
