Lonely Leaf

I had written this 1.5 yrs back.... no no dont remember each word... Got this sheet, so thought y not put it on my blog...

Lonely Leaf

Alone Alone flies a leaf
Searching for a place
Its tired flying all alone
Its tired scared all alone

Wind blows the leaf
To a place Unknown
There the leaf Searches
for a place which is known

It lands on Trees
It lands on Branches
It lies on the ground
It goes around

But it never finds a place
Where it can always stay
It can live in a place only for sometime
Sometimes the wind Sometimes the Rain takes it Away

It keeps searching for another leaf
It even gets another Leaf
But they cant stay together for long
The Wind takes them away so far

Sometimes I wonder what happens
Leaf is on the ground and a big foot is on
What if somebody captures it
Will it be happy,will it be sad

I keep thinking what leaf might think
Why leaf so helpless
Why leaf so alone
But leaf keeps flying,until its there.

dunno if its my first poem...
I used to write some stuff or the other, as soon as i got a paper... nowadays reduced a lot.... May be such a long one ... yes for the first time....
Well even when i wrote this i wasnt lonely... Had a lot of friends. Just that may be i was not in mood or was sad coz of something.. so wrote this... Even 2day... Sometimes when i am sad i get this feeling... but people are there, so don't feel lonely very often. :)

As long as the leaf is alive.. I mean it doesn't become a dry one and crumble.. it will continue to dream.. dream as it flies..as long as it does find the rite place to settle.....

Nice one Art!!

Hi Aarthy, Nice attempt. Maybe you should write more poems :o)

Hmm..so we have a poet here..I won't say 'nice poem' coz everyone else did that. Not that I mean it is not a nice poem...It definitely has a movement, as someone else mentioned, slightly melancholic. Inspired by nature or something or were u actually passing through an autumn?

Art said...

Thanks all of u... Will surely try to write more ... Wasn't inspired by nature for this, just that i was feeling a little sad and lonely when i wrote this...
