Whirl Wind Poem by Afzal Shauq

How it happened..?
I do not know,
When I looked upon myself
I saw...
the tree of youth

You came in my life
like a whirl wind
changing everything
and now..
it is all so different

The tree of Youth
has thrown down its leaves
the ground is covered
and I...
left in confusion

For since you came
and in your wake
the damage done
God knows...
what you truly were

My first thought
you were just a girl
then perhaps a fairy
could be...
just the fast winds of time.
