I can tell how you will live your life
by the way the wind scatters the leaves.
If the wind scatters the leaves in disarray,
your life will be as tumultuous
as the way the wind scatters the leaves.
If the wind scatters the leaves in pretty patterns,
your life will be as beautiful and elegant
as the way the wind scatters the leaves.
Here are the leaves that will show you your life,
a pile soaked with rain and clumped together.
The wind comes in and those leaves do not move,
stuck to the ground and matted with rainwater.
This is how I know you will never change
by the way the wind doesn’t scatter the leaves.
