Dead Thoughts

As I walk upon the dead leaves
It reminds me of the loneliness
The absence of the air from within 
My body, my mind and the soul

The time when those grasses were green
A silent word, without even hearing
Could amplify the voice, yet inaudible
Un-understandable, but felt in the air

But now, its nothing like before
Things have changed 
A thought was just enough to 
Hear that voice 
But now, are those leaves that are dead
Or I have dead thoughts

Some of these lines show great use of imagery. I like this shorter poem of yours. The way you compare dead leaves with the loneliness inside. Andrea
