Cycle of discomfort

Arid-tanned leaves,
vigorously stripped 
from their cages by
thick cold winds,

luring them to dance
like elegant swans,
swaying dangerously
naked to speeding
express, testing their fate. 

I hear the roars and 
dark clouds 
setting up the stage. 

You only hear nature's
voice through our pen. 
Their pain, happiness, 
memories and laughter. 

our 
favourite lover.

They preserve us, 
and in turn, 
we become their sip, 
they eat
in nourishment.
In the end,
we all come back as Nature.

Man and nature, over time ages and wither. It is a cyclic process. What dies and decays comes back again to life. Enjoyed this poem of deep philosophical content
