What do We Call it?

This is totally like a pocketful of sunshine - kahin koi dost, humsafar, na jaane kya, aur uske shabdon ka tarkash


A leaf falls --And makes noise,
startles the phlegmatic whisper
of a pregnant silence,
In mourning.

Falls, cuts through
the empty stillness of the air,
that once was spirit
Rests on a grave,
of a million footsteps, and more
Feels. Truth, love, betrayal, sorrow,
And everything else,
that those hearts felt.
And the stomachs.

The leaf reverberates
with the echo of their rumbling.
Sleeps. Time turns it yellow.
Another leaf falls. And another.
We call it Autumn,
And walk over it anyway!

Folks,

4-His favourite game was T.T. during wee hours-3.30 AM just before sleeping!!
5-Took 3 months to croce prelims n 3 months to crack final-IAS-UPSC.
6-Speed about 700 words/minutes-reading

Leaves shall fall till
The last leaf dies its natural death
Ruminating the last moments
On the frivolousness of Feelings
Gone by.
And then there are none. Stark,
Emotionless Wood.
Cold, still. Feelings numb.
Words die. Thoughts Freeze.
Winter bides its time. Mourning continues.
Placidity. Minima. Troughs of life.

Then, Tautness turbulates.
Cords stir. No longer still.
Flowers bloom. Petals Abound.
Nature turns sensuous.
Spring dances its way
Into your Arms.

Fresh green to Pale Green
Withered Yellow,
Crumpled Brown.
Shall Occur.
Autumn Appears Anyway.
Then, why shalt Spring
Be Ignored?
A leaf falls. Probably to provide place
For a New one. Celebrate while
It Ruffles the Silences.
