The Falling Leaves And Life
All colors have faded on the weather-worn leaves,
Which, reaching their lives' final stage,
Relinquish their holds on the ancient oak tree,
A gentle breeze catches them one after one
And tenderly nudges them around
To appear they are tiptoeing about in the air
While they flutter and float to the ground.
Although they are shriveled and dry,
But the others they follow and soon spiral down
To land on the pile where they lie.
Enhancing the soil they have fed
And providing the space in their brief cycle span
For new life to appear in their stead.

Very nice. I like it very much.
Fantastically brilliant peom...nice work Sam!!.
How meaningfully it relates to life approaching its counterpart i.e death. And near the end of poem it describes how important u were and what contribution u had done but now its time to made way for new life so go.. and go with happy heart. Anyway its what i got from it but i still love it !!!
Once again Sam..nice contribution
Hope to see n read more things from u...stay alive :)
Me too loved this little poem.
The life is that tree and we all are those leaves and we surely will fall one day..!
How sad is that..!
Then all we can do is to love each other and make our days as happy as possible as we can by spreading the word of peace and love in this material world!
I loved the imagination.
I luv the beauty of autumn leaves and the depth of 'death' that they signify.. This is an excerpt of a poem i wrote abt autumn long time ago-
"As they fall in a slow dance towards death,
Pulled by the gravity of destiny;
Such valour they must have,
To dance the dance so beautifully"

Hello Samrina!
That's a wonderful poem, and brings nostalgic thoughts to my mind. I had written a story about the life of an old tree long time ago, and you can also read it here.
Wonderful post!
