Wind blows away far inside
thrust a dry leaf
fragilely fall to ground
as a stranger into our home.
thrust a dry leaf
fragilely fall to ground
as a stranger into our home.
Wrinkles
make an impression,
aged or illness drops it down
a dry leaf runaway
desire controlled by wind.
aged or illness drops it down

Hand pickup & drops away
sometime led to dustbin
or where it swept from
to rejoin its journey by wind.

The picture above was captured by me on a dry leaf, but
slightly under wet condition. The poem is related to home experience.

ReplyDeletethanks jeevan
Great thoughtful poem.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture and it has evoked such wonderful lines in you!
ReplyDeleteNice poem. Dry leaves may fall, but they decompost and mix with nature. Only things like plastic and silicon don't mix with nature.

Beautiful image & lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful words and photo.
ReplyDeletesimple and sweet...
ReplyDeleteLovely verse to describe an equally poignant image! I particularly liked the first stanza. The analogy of the falling leaf and a stranger at home is novel and refreshing.
