Seeking space and time, thoughts to awaken my mind <br />Time to walk in my wake, insight for the journey <br />Fate to spark, reveal what lies beneath the bark <br />Distracted by the roots of a tree <br /> <br />Show me your meaning <br />Am I dreaming? <br />A hillside descending down <br />I continue on foot, I take a look <br /> <br />From the branch of the tree, second sight <br />A leaf takes flight, caught in the wind <br /> <br />It moves to the right, spinning in circular motion <br />Free as waves in the ocean, rhythmic and illicit as an accordion <br />Terminal velocity brings the leaf lower, inhuman it raises in updraft <br />Predestined, unknown is its path <br /> <br />The sun lows, where now for it to go <br />Constant revolution, a dance in the sky <br />Like a bee, I wonder how it flies <br />Its journey free willed or has it let loose its free will? <br /> <br />Does it lead or is it led? <br />Winding low, it spirals lower <br />Lost for power, the end of its hour <br />Returned to the earth, laid to rest <br /> <br />I confess, this has a meaning to be seen <br />I pause, my journey is done, lowered is the sun <br />Am I dreaming? <br />Random steps walk over the brittle leaf, no utterance of speech <br /> <br />Visual intake for my walk in wake <br />Time for the direction of fate <br />A gust of wind let it begin <br />Reanimation sends it to the left <br />I pause again and inhale a deep breath<br /><br />Louis Cecile<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/visual-journey/
