A Falling Leaf Poem by Upendra Majhi

I saw a leaf falling,
adjacent to lounge, in the garden,
Only poets notice it,
event being so banal,
Soon I connected to past such falls,
And I saw the tree smiling on all its leaves,
As I saw it more intently,
I saw the tree hiding its shades,
shades of its trunk and leaves.
As I whispered to it
why hide your beautiful shadows,
The tree wept and tears could be
seen blown away by a mild breeze,
I realised I am under a spell,
For trees never smile, nor hide nor weep,
May be it is my life, unknown part of my life,
life of semi-finished truths,
portion of life of hibernated truths,
or may be my beloved is pouring out
it being winter.
