Life as a tumbleweed

Life of a tumbleweed, uncontrollable in direction,

Prematurely gusted away from the source of life,

Strolling about in search of a place to disperse beginnings,

Focal ambition ensuring a future and continuation,

Unaccepted, ignored and lacking in beauty, as time is wasted, 

Gathering up unwanted dust as blown about consistently,

Adding to the burden, slowing down carrying like stones,

Dropping off, crashing into nearest objects to unload,

Blustered about, ignorant on journey down a wary path,

Abruptly blown off path, to a direction with a blessed fortune,

Lifted and airborne now and fluttering on green pastures,

Temporary relief in unknown territory, to a final legacy,

Attempting last spread, released to be decided by earth,

Await a welcome to a day in spring for first relief and sustenance,

Grow and develop a family of tumbleweeds to live and spread,

The inevitable end is near, dry, burnt by the sun to become dust,

To become one with the earth and finally valued for the new life.
