Drift

Teddy.15

 
I'll lay me down on a leaf 
drift me down stream 
 
my soul of gold 
 
I'm not quite ready yet 
to stand myself back up
 
I'll lay me down on a leaf 
as the wind takes it's gasps
blowing me gently through the ripples
 
whilst listening to the orchestra of Nightingales 
 
I have no idea where I'll end up?
 
but I know that where ever it may be...
 
I'll be surrounded by nature's glorious painting.

    Oak, Lily pad, maple? Do you have a leaf preference? Great poem

          There is a feel of abandoning oneself to the whims of nature in this poem. Drifting as on a leaf allowing the currents and winds of fortune to carry one feels so free but at the same time with unknown trepidation. Well done my friend

            Yes, out of the ashes of grief we have to regain our bearings because it's life's wish. 🌹 Thank you dearest sorrenbarret I hope I am not depressing you all, too much 🤣

              You are most welcome Teddy no not at all this poem actually seemed light, not bright per se but drifting as if down a slow moving stream in a boat on a summer day.

              Wonderful words Teddy and I totally agree with you.

                Thank you dear Andy, we all get back up in the end after grief. 🌹
