A Leaf
by louis gander I was a leaf with no relief from stiff and blowing winds - and twisted taut was cruelly fought with all their greedy sins. I set my sights on city lights but life was in their hands. I held on tight with all my might - but they had killed my plans. Still, all went good- as well, it should until I met my match - when roared and churned the gusts had turned. I twisted and detached. But oh, alas! It came to pass that it was not of me! With legal tools, they changed the rules - then yanked me from that tree. Unlike a play, the truth did say, I sailed through the air. I did not know where I would go, but oh, indeed I cared. Now judged from those with pointed nose who see me from afar - they claim I failed because I'd sailed with breezy winds that are. Let those who judge and do not budge be sentenced not this way - but may the suns burn greedy ones forever and a day... They do not care I'm flying where no leaf has gone before and so I go where ill winds blow but not forevermore. I'll settle down on clover ground on soft caressing lawn - that's so serene by pastures green where few have ever gone. It's Heaven's sod. For only God knows everywhere I've blown. And He employs the greatest joys this world has ever known. Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
