Autumn and Its Falling Leaves Part Ii
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.
