Leaves. Leaves drop to earth Some grey, some orange Some dry and cracking A branding construct Humanity’s endeared to, Yes, endeared to, forever! Birds flap their wings In merriment to the Change of day, another day. I can hear them Sing from far afield, I can feel the vibration from A million city drummers, And the gyration of pedantic Street dancers; Hoots of owls concoct Eerie scenarios away From home, away from home; I look at a fallen leaf Settled at my battered feet, A smile issues from The corner of my lips; Life’s like a fallen leaf. Driven to its final destination, It rests to rot gyrating to Drumbeats of a million Drummers. Like it or not, its colour May be grey or orange, Its disposition may be Whole, battered or broken. Yet, the synergies there-from Compensate true meaning Of living... The branding of life, Like leaves dropping To earth another day. « return. |
