SHRIVELED

 

SHRIVELED

 

 

Confess life counts number,

Seasons move ahead, flutter,

Incessant motion changes lit,

Blossom colorful dried intuit,(1)

 

Verdure green now brownish,

Dry leaves to the ground unleash,

Violent wind lifted leaves high,

Detached from the trees sign, (2)

 

Misses identity past is dreamy,

Dried petal dusts accompany,

Wind motion induces summer,

Leaves petals dry seeds wear, (3)

 

The whirlwind afternoon time,

Lifted from the ground, moved fine,

The different realms amaze me,

Rain comes drifting lives trim, (4)

 

Leave petals changed to dust,

The soil germinated, its host,

Stood speechless, silent watch,

Dry leaves green leaves catch, (5)

 

Look at heaven nectar pour,

Magic wand sprouts life hour,

Moisture heavy breeze tends,

Beneath the soil, the root extends, (6)

 

Life cycle heart emotional wet,

The tree missed, but to resurrect,

A hundred miles away, designed,

Implanted at fertile soil signed, (7)

 

A bush mesmerized to identify,

Long stem branching out high,

Years after flower fragrant link,

Different time season bud wink, (viii)

 

Smiled the young growth green,

Not a dry leaf sway stems clean,

Rest under the tree, shaded, well,

Inclined to the trunk, soul swell, (9)

 

Myriad thoughts introspect life,

Time plays germinator to strife,

Acts as terminator dried leaves,

Inflame wildfires burn, believes, (10)

 

The key lies in propagation here,

A gust of wind, playing like a savior,

Whisked away dry seeds further,

Forest rain generates if superior, (11)

 

Smiled at wrinkled skins mine,

Shriveled life age indicates, define,

Human limb resembling a dry leaf,

Fallen to the ground mix belief, (12)

 

Petal humans wear nature well,

Flowers indwelling love prevail,

Bear the seed, human his attribute,

Fallen leaf fallen shriveled flute, (13)

 

Swan songs of life flute played,

Shriveled human frame relayed,

Soul resemblance seed travel,

Time like winds womb unravel, (14)

 

It is evening back home reveal,

Plant life or human shrivel reel.

Procreation propagation wind,

Greens dry shriveled remind. (15)
