A Yellow Leaf

A yellow leaf in a muddy brown burn
It skims and circles as the eddies turn it
Through placid pools and rushing cascades
In ceaseless journey laid till it reach the sea

A timid heart in an earthy mixed-up life 
I free flow and a greater purpose carries me
Through trials pale and yet fiercely sweet      
In ceaseless journey laid till I reach the Sea

A white feather in a warm cloudless sky
It flies and twirls as the currents turn it
Through falls and flights it lands and rises
Till it reach its quiet end and there unburdens  

A cowardly soul in a clear loving embrace
But I rise and soar in the will of love   
Through pain and joy I enter by the door
Till I reach his quiet end and there unburden

                               *
It mattered not where I was in the stream
Enough that I was in it and travelling
Predetermined certain of my destination
And I could let loose my hold and, be . . . 
Knowing I was being taken, where I could see
