An Ode To Autumn Leaves

   
                                                      Oh!autumn leaves sad and dry
                                                      You weep looking towards the sky
                                                      Shivering on the branches of a tree
Afraid to fall;yet longing to be free....


Coloured with memories old
Alone in the bitter cold
Whispering to yourselves u stay
Watching the day fade away....


When u hear the wind's flute
U suddenly go very mute
Afraid to be carried off
Yet in the air longing to float!!


Many a sunray u have touched...
Much in mist and fog u were engulfed
Silvered by the lightning amidst night;
An adorned bride in morning light.


You have stayed for long
A life as a melodious as a song
Now is to end. as you are off
In this autumn wind u are carried off....


like my memories u fly
Beneath the pale autumn sky
Down here u lie as a heap
From a life so short to a sleep so deep.....


It reminds me of the shattered dreams of man
I know nothing ever can
Bring that green back on ur cheeks of gold......
Here i sat sad, and weak and old


Under this lonely autumn tree
Whispering to her" oh,tree...u are like me"
