Would I stand?

Like a fallen leaf

Unmindfuly

I floated with wind

Wherever it heads & swung

Yet! ironically I wasn’t among  the fallen ones

Filled with undeterred strength and intact spirit

Left nothing but trail of regrets

For not standing my ground

And being blown away by incoming gust

Without taking note of its course and direction

Spent the whole ride in this frustration

Desparately!

Awaiting for the wind to get calm

To ground me once again

A chance to make that decision

And here as I am settling down now

With much lesser strength and vigour

Would I blow away with next incoming gust?

To maintain that superficial sense of moving

To keep Floating unmindfully with its swing

Or will I stand my ground?

And wait for the wave

The one!

Heading towards my desired course

I am watching myself

In this new endeavour,,,,
