Hmmm, new school term starts tmrw. I've already started some of the reading so hopefully I can keep up with the pace again this term and try to do better than the last. Wish me luck !

I also thought I might try being a little creative, with shirley's influence (and it IS autumn over here). An original poem, by me:

The cry of the leaf
--------------------------

Like a leaf in the ocean, drifting with the tide.
The wind carries me,
no direction to head.

It is silent even with spirits all around.
If I knew what to say,
I would do so out loud.

Be all you can be, said a dove once to me
But still I am overwhelmed
by the forces unseen

For what did I do, that made my purpose end
For my time is now shorter
Than it was when I began

Perhaps if I turn and point myself south
Then I might find
a friend on the same path

Or perhaps I am meant to fall simply to the ground.

Where my limbs will fold
And my flesh will be torn asunder
Then my life will have been given
To bring new hope to another.

--------------------------

Lemme know if u like it ;)
