The Fall
In the grand scheme of things
I offer up, my part...
for guidance and direction
as the day gets set to start.
On the horizon are the guidestrings
and building blocks of the day,
for each, they could be "footholds"
or they could be obstacles in the way.
Absent of preconceptions
the roads have fences that were made,
from rules and regulations
which sometimes seem to fade.
Yet, I possess no difficulties
disgarding optimism with each mile,
for a pessimistic outlook
could bring a bright, serendipitous smile.
Acknowledging the existence
of all the others, in my view...
my heart swells with considerations
for my fellows, in all I do.
The Fall, has come and taught the wind
how to quietly undress the trees,
and I feel confident, that on this day
I'm alive, for I am.....the breeze !
