Life

On a really dark day.... oh my...

Swirling in the pool
A leaf lies lazily on the ripples.

The wind gains speed.

The water twists--

The leaf struggles as it is dragged down by the force.

What will happen at the pinnacle of the vortex?

A new life
Or the end of a pointless one?

The question we all face...i don't believe this is such a dark piece, I believe that is a revelation...a real question. I loved that last line...it hit me square in the face!

Love it!

Nice image of the leaf, providing for you a metaphorical puppet, or a symbol for life. As the "wind" picks up, and "ripples" of hardship threaten to take us under, what do we do? Do we learn from them, and become newer, wiser beings? Are we reborn anew? "A new life," as you put it, or is it the end? Nicely done.

I dont care what anyone says, life is a game. There is so many obstacles we face. This was excellently expressed.
