Writing a Poem...For Dummies....

I am a mouse in a laboratory maze
Bumping into walls
Searching for freedom of known safety and security.

In my past I've been a statue
Nobel and strong
Through rain and darkness
Showing others the way
Hiding my own needs behind my stone shell

In my future I want to be a young green leaf
On a tree on the edge of a breathtaking valley
Growing and flowing in the sunshine and gentle wind
Free to be beautiful, to turn colors, and fall to where ever I choose.

My life is a maze of paths
All interwoven
At different times and places.
The statue standing tall, leading the way and the leaves changing the scenery.
I want to walk them all and wander.
