Like the Falling of Autumn Leaves

To stay or to go?
To dance, or watch only?
To defend, or look away?


To crave freely or to stifle?
To gain or to lose?
To run or to write?
To eat or to starve?

Diligence or laissez-faire?
Truth or comfort?
Plain words or poetry?
Wine or water?
Stretch or force?
Restore or demolish?

In what order shall I put mine house?
What comes first...and who can tell me?
This is where I dwell.
