Down And Out Poem by Anil Kumar Panda
Down And Out
I am already down and out
I am almost dead and burning
Give me no more pain
I am already a fallen leaf
Flitting with the wind of summer
Wandering across fields and lanes
Don't think about me
In a few days I will be in the sea
In the tides flowing high and low
Getting lashed and losing my glow
A fallen leaf is separated from the plant and hence has to lose its identity is nicely depicted in the poem.
So beautifully penned, dear Anil ji. Real poetry........10 + Favourite
And paradoxically spiritual teachers say we gain wisdom by not being attached to things.
The amazing instrument of the human mind can enter any corner of reality. Under blows of fate, it may feel as insubstantial as a drying, wind-drive leaf.
