Floating Aloof...



I am like a leaf
Floating aloof...
Going where the breeze takes me.

I am shed from the tree,
Heaven up above!
Picked up by the breeze of life
Sometimes I fly high
On wings of happiness
Sometimes I crash
With the burdrn of pain

I am like a leaf
Lying on the ground
When there is no breeze to carry me

I am stamped upon
Crushed and humiliated
Worn out like a dried leaf
Waiting for the breeze to carry me again

Take me with it
Let me float and settle
As I reach my final abode

i read this on Arti's blog itself... and yes i agree... this is quite good! Kuan! and the picture with it is quite a sight, lonely, vulnerable... and yet quite strong!!

starry said...

Beautiful and meaningful words.first I wanted to be that leaf to just fly away in the breeze, but as I read on I did not want to be the leaf being trampled on. Isn't life like that sometimes.we want only the joy and not the pain.

Hi Kuan I cannot tell you the encouragement that I found in reading the comments that where posted as a result of my poem at your blog spot, It was very hard for me to post the poems because it really is exposing a part of my heart, I write poems constantly and I now think I will post a few more on my blog for sure, after all we miss out on a large part of life if we don’t take risks. Also Arti D. Honrao I really like the descriptions in your poem it leaves much to the imagination and a great picture too! And Kuan thank you very much for the comments at my blog spot!
