Favorite Quote:
"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau

The leaves are falling
Farther away than ever,
Flowing with the wind.

The wind carries it
Away from where it came from,
Never looking back.

The leaves lay gently
On the untrodden pathway,
In peaceful silence.

The author's comments:
A series of Haiku poems, about looking into the future rather than dwelling in the past.
