Waiting For New Leaves

Waiting for New Leaves I am a red flower tree, I am waiting for my new long thin leaves, I am waiting for my leaves, Like a new beginning for another Spring, The clouds are trying to console me, The wind too is trying to soothe me, By its cool and refreshing blowing, The tiny black bird, Will come soon again To swing and feast, My red flower's sweet, Which she eats while singing And swinging on my trees.. The cycle of life, Keep running like this. Seasons come and seasons go, They leave their impressions, On the sands and sky of time. The only thing which never fails to persist, Is the change of things and change of time, Which always turns, Sooner or later and never fails. So wait for your turn of good days, It would come soon with my new leaves, And your hopes and dreams would revive, To brighten your life, With love, joy and music. Ravindra Kanpur India 7th Aug. 2012 This Poem was originally written by me on 17th May 2010 on the Photo of Red Flower Leaves as my Photo Poem.
