Passing Thoughts
I wrote this during my last semester in college in January 1998. My first published work.
I am a Leaf
It’s been a couple of weeks since I wanted to write this, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write until now. The title says it all I guess: I am a leaf. A leaf that is floating in the wind, waiting for it to fall on a branch or a gust of wind to blow it away into some unknown space. I am a feather mindlessly drifting from treetop to treetop to stone top to housetop to rooftop to doorstop. Somehow, I have found myself in a state of suspended animation. I am doing nothing. Thinking, feeling nothing. Just a state of dormant existence. That’s how I feel right now: a leaf. My own creative way of saying what I’ve recently realized I’ve become… I am a bum.
