An Autumn Leaf





     An Autumn Leaf 
        Immanual Joseph  


Yesterday, I was the mist of the waterfall
Tomorrow I will be a raindrop
 
Racing toward my destiny
But today
 
I am the cloud
 
Floating amidst the mountain peaks
The hangman’s noose is empty
 
For I am life
I cannot be destroyed
The winds of adversity
Buffet and mould me
 
Yet I float free
I am freedom
 
The bird that flits happily
 
Among olive trees
I am the wind of the evergreen glades
I am boundless
 
Without secrets, without fear
I am love
 
The red ferns on mossy grass
I am Now
 
This hour, eternity
I know no beginning or end
 
I cannot be destroyed.
