A Log In River

A log drifting in river
not knowing where its going
having no control over itself
i wonder on my helplessness

i laugh on my ego
i laugh on my dreams
gone are the days
when i was a proud tree
breathing growing strong steady
feeling the embrace of the wind
embodiment of strength and wisdom
example to be followed by other trees

and today here I am
drifting in river
unconscious of the consciousness
aware of nothing

dreams of going so high
dreams of touching the sky
dreams which could not become reality
dreams which have to be forgotten

what is real is this water
taking me where it please
and I can do nothing
but embrace this water
and embrace my destiny
