Like An Autumn Is Our Life... Poem by Shalom Wali Syed

As i sit in the evening at my window
playing my monotonous tune on flute
i gaze at the autumn leaves of gold
parting away cuz they are old.

Life is so much like an autumn here
we need to leave the ones which are dear
and like in the spring when the leaves start anew
our life has to start from old to new.

Like last leaf that the autumn slays
is like our life and bad those days
which we cant carry through our life
then why to cry n why strife?

Let the leaves of despondency fall
and leave the thought of gathering all,
wait for the spring to come with a new leaf,
be strong, keep the belief
that the sun will no more stay in d cloud,
your time of bliss will come out of shroud...
