Wind or leaf?

Autumn is near,

 and the leaves will be showing their beauty.

Momentary display,

 carried away on a breeze.

Wind,

 capricious in nature,

   cares not where the leaves land.

Both are following their path.

One is a quiet path to momentary beauty,

  becoming a fond memory.

Another,

 always in motion.

Quiet for a moment,

 and a force of destruction in the next.

Each return,

 showing their nature.

Leaving you to wonder,

 which one is you?

Marvelous take on Autumn and its beauty in relation to us all. You capture all that in a complimentary way. Excellent, Jon.

[Jon Roggie]

Thank you, sir.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome, Jon.

[Gee]

I guess we are all leaves, budding, blooming, fading, then finally falling and forgotten.
A nice wee read John, no rambling !!

[Jon Roggie]

I always ramble. You have to tell a story, if only to tell another, and that still leads to another. Good morning to you.

[Gee]

Good morning....

[Jon Roggie]

I must say, "A nice wee read..." brought a smile to my face.

Growing up in Arizona, I somehow had various members from the UK around me. Meanwhile, I was learning to speak German.
