KICKING LEAVES IN THE PARK

On a cool autumn day in October,
A young man kicking leaves in the park
Contemplated the meaning of his life.

The breeze ruffled trees and heavy oak leaves,
Their branches crackling as he kicked leaves in the park,
No meaning resonating in his weary mind.

Suddenly he stopped kicking the leaves in the park,
A thought began to resonate in his mind,
Stirring pleasant emotions within him.

And in a moment of stillness and clarity,
The young man realized the meaning is to
Simply be in the moment of life and enjoy.
