Calamity Poem by Kolitha Lelwala

Calamity

Rating: 5.0


as a tree in grassland
stays still in purity….

A breeze flows through
takes it swirling around
twittering the leaves
causing a 'beauty' …..

Harsh wind blows
taking away the nests
leaving birds chirping

A tornado gushes
uprouting the tree
exposing the nature
of Mind …..

Anger, Lust, greed, hatred
Become winds, tornados, cyclones.
Making us miserable
Losing mindfulness.
