Whirling Leaves Of Life


    Hurl the spear of grief
    against the flayed sky
    The depth of every betrayal
    roots have taken hold in the mattress
                                          - a clichéd fact
    Too much pain and too much conflicts
    strong emotional currents

    Neither dusk nor dawn can delude me
    Your mode of denial, determines my fate
    brooding does not happen on its own
    Absence of response is also an answer
    but action eliminates doubt
    Let the wind draw its final breath
                                    - pack up your trash

A powerful expression of grief,betrayal and inner turmoil.The instability of life and emotions is beautifully reflected through the imagery of leaves,wind,and dusk.Its finale note is inspiring. Best wishes in the contest.

Sometimes life is like that and things don't go how we want it to. We just have to soldier on. Good luck in the contest Anne-Lise. Just travelling back from Italy🇮🇹, had a great two weeks. Enjoy your weekend. Tom🌹
