What am I doing?

You wonder what I am doing?
Well, so do I, in truth.
Days seem to dawn, suns to shine,
evenings to follow, and then I sleep.
What I have done, what I am doing,
what I am going to do, puzzle and bewilder me.
Have you ever been a leaf
and fallen from your tree in autumn
and been really puzzled about it?
That's the feeling.

           T. E Lawrence, in a letter to Eric Kennington, 1935
