In universal terms;                       a thousand lifetimes come & go                       in the blink of an eye                                                                                          I overrated the importance of my existence                                             and now I'm chasing leaves on the breeze.                                                                                                                                                                                                         perhaps                              one day the breeze will fail          and the leaves will sit willingly, still;          hungry to be examined.                                                                          Only (I discover)                              I was never chasing leaves                                  Just lost in the wind.
