Poem
Autumn and its falling leaves PART II Some trees leaves were more lucky and blessed To feel the touch of snow in winters on hills And enchanting fragrances of flowers on plains Without complaining and regretting any thing They whispered, about their lovely days and nights They were happy about their stay on trees Their love for rains and longing for breeze Their yearning for dance, music and Sun’s feel In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves I love to watch the falling of leaves Some other leaves murmured to me a different fate When I was moving amid a scattered tree shade In a semi desert forest away from my home The leaves here were of different colors and shapes They had little fate to attract the clouds and shower Still during the time of their short fly in the air They too were smiling while departing from the air In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves I love to watch the falling of leaves The leaves were murmuring their story in my ear Their journey to this world and their returning While singing they told how they lived a life full of love Caring for others without thinking for themselves Loving their friends and loving the God Was the secret of happy life, they wanted to convey “If you want to be always happy, just follow my way” They lived a life full of life and were parting without a sigh Even while parting from the company of their fellow locks Who were still singing and dancing on trees in the sky What a peace I saw on these parting leaves Although they knew, there was no one to sing A song in their memory and no one to weep In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves I love to watch the falling of leaves But Alas! This autumn While moving amid my favorite trees I found some not very strange leaves In a stage of agony and freeze, before saying adieu They were falling with pain and were crying And were murmuring the cruelty done by humans With Nature and with its enchanting children’s* And by madly cutting mans best friend trees I still walk in my favorite season of autumn And try to hear the murmur of autumn leaves To keep the humans apprise about the agonies of Trees and their darling flowers and leaves. Ravindra Kanpur 24th Nov. 2009 * Air, Water and Earth
