The Past And The Present Poem by Kavitha Krishnamurthy

I was once a flourishing tree
With so many leaves, my friends
Life was full of stimulation
It was the most beautiful chapter of my life

Then the autumn came
I think it was the time for parting
One by one the leaves started leaving
They disappeared with the wind

I tried to stop them from leaving
But desolation was in my fate
I was left to tolerate
The difficult phase on my own

Today the spring has come
Some new leaves have shown
But I still feel the insecurity
That the past may return

My life won't encounter again
Those prosperous years prior to the autumn
