A Walk In Autumn Poem by Nosheen Irfan

A Walk In Autumn

Rating: 4.9


The leaves-strewn paths
I walk with steps wary
Lest the leaves cry in pain

The crunch of leaves under feet
I hear with ears sharp
Lest their music be lost on me

Trees are not sorry to let go of leaves
Leaves are not sorry to part with trees
Don't cry o heart when you walk on dead leaves.

This poem is one of beauty and emotion but both are treated with such tenderness that the sadness is suffused with joy. Part of me does not want to disturb the pattern and poise you achieved by using my cerebral words. Another part of me wants to articulate the poem's meaning to show you how abundantly you bestowed autumn's wonders over us. And for this poem I choose the second option: I'm putting my analytical mind to rest, and re-read the poem in an atmosphere of appreciation. I want to safeguard your poem's tenderness.

I really like this one Nosheen. Yet we do cry over dead leaves don't we.

Well that's cycle of life, old leaves fall in autumn and the tree stands waiting for new leaves in the spring.
