Like a Drunken Sailor on a lot of Leaves

We danced on piles of leaves decorated in pictures
We promised everyone
A chance
Of the pile
We echoed visions of how it “sure be”
We kicked that paper mile by mile
But never raised it high
Just to be there and be seen
We watched it spring a foot high
As we kicked our heels
We watched as it spun
As if possessed by wills
Moved beyond
Our vision
To decorate ideals
Ideas
Family and friends
With painted leaves in no wind
But our own

I suppose the wind picking at our cherry picking
Swirled and raised a few ideas
As people gathered all the wind
Ideas and slim pickings

We kicked the leaves at our day
We swirled them one foot high
And people stood amongst the leaves
Looking at the sky
But then the party ended
And we looked at the score
And all the leaves were bank notes
And the visitors holding scores

We kicked the leaves of money
We kicked the ideas of gain
We kicked without caring
Does the image gain
As we peer at the future
Winds never pass
Or they are nice and gentle
For our children
They may last

ah, some party - and as with such revelry, sometimes we forget to think what we shall wake to - or that our children shall find upon morning -

Enjoyed pondering your "leave" of words -
