Hope You Land Safely
One day, the garbage bin tipped over
and a tin can tumbled free,
rolled and rolled and rolled past me;
so I shouted,
'go Little can, go!
Hopefully, you’ll find some new purpose.
One day, while sitting on the shore,
alone,
I saw a stray beach ball cavorting about,
rolling along the tides that dared pull it in,
and I screamed,
'bounce little ball! Bounce
as far as you go,
and hope you find some adoring child who'll play.
Now, I look out my window and see
the remnants of fall and a near naked tree,
when one brilliant, orange, crisp leaf
tumbled free from a pile,
cartwheeling down my street,
and I beckon the little fellow,
'roll, roll as far as you will go,
and I hope you find true purpose
somewhere in the old women’s garden,
or tenderly clutched by a girl’s hand,
lovingly adoring you
until you are dust.
I wonder,
If I run
Who will catch me.
And think,
what a prize.
