To Fall Is To Rise Poem by Indira Renganathan

To Fall Is To Rise

Rating: 5.0


Life seems old
And falling

Which hand's there
To hold and rise

Waiting
Like the fallen
Leaves with the
withered look

To be swept up by
A monsoon blow
For a new season

So that
A nascent leaf
Fluttering
In gentle breeze
Flickering
In golden sunshine
In the lap of mother nature
Excites me

As I keep gazing
Kicking my tiny legs
In my mother's lap

Yes madam, to fall means to rise. In old age people need to rise with the help of their grandsons or grand daughters. After final falling a person gets nascent body like a new leaf of a tree. A well imaginative poem with a philosophical base has been composed by you incisively. Full five stars.

Ma'am autumn so metaphorical compared with child in the lap kicking gently. Very beautiful conception and expression of surprise. Thank-you.
