Poem
Yet again the door is being knocked For ages it’s been closed Who's there? The Sun looks down The Breeze Halts! Tulips raise their heads in delight.. But the Cascade continue to flow__ like an indifferent Bee Knock___ knock___ Knock! How persistent the knocking is...!! But what is there? Its light from the peepholes Enlightens every corner of the Valley, Old Cider tree opens his eyes Sheds away, with one jerk, All dead leaves... Pale, sick and dried.. Which now floats on the waves, Concealing image of the orange sitting sun, In the cascade__ for a while. At once, Gigantic Mountain roars in panic, The sun closes its eyes, Breeze hides away in a dark cave, Tulips are now harming themselves in despair, For the light from peephole is fading.. I can hear sound of a pair of feet going away.. There is but No more knocking… It’s dark now! Tiny little moon is waiting for the stars to shine, The valley is silent But noice of Cascade, ____ of distance Wolves And somewhere far behind the Forbidden Forest The door is still closed… ~~~~~~_____________***____________~~~~~ ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3rd December, 2020 (12: 01) Originally posted in February, 2020. Note: Cascade symbolizes TIME. Sitting sun: End of life or old age, sadness etc. Somebody asked me what does the Line "Concealing image of the orange sitting sun, In the cascade" mean. Here is the explanation: when you get rid of your burdens, pains, worries etc, that's the moment when you are truly alive. You might you even stop aging if you are happy. Same happenens here, deade leaves of Cider (burdens, tensions & illness of it) hide sitting sun's reflection in fhe water. And I hope you have noticed the pronoun *I* which as you can see, appeared quite late in the poem. Happens when you nullify/neglect yourself. This "I" is thematically very significant. Plus note, the Valley is behind the forbidden forest, that is also thematically important.
