My mind is as unsettled,
As leaves in a fall breeze.
Swirling gently in disarray,
As colorfully as my unease.
A departure from the stale gray,
Uncertainties to settle.
Free from life's pleasantries,
And those who seek to meddle.
I calm the swirl of leaves,
I find what I seek and may.
It's I, I need to please,
And rise for another day.
