like any fool
i remain clueless
watching maple seeds
helicopter from
sky to grass
wondering if,
like unspoken words,
they have any
intent

    Fabulous imagery here, and I can certainly relate to this watching, this pondering of nature, wondering on a greater purpose.

    This will have me pondering.

      Now you’re pondering what makes me ponder, but it’s not a “Lie awake at night” kind of ponder. I get those too and they aren’t more than the level of this.

        It’s a good kind of ponder. Those up at night ponders aren’t as fun.

    Not one we simple humans ever have any hope of comprehending.

      I pretend that I might be able to scry their meanings with enough pondering. Perhaps it is an illusion.
