Wilted Leaf Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Wilted Leaf

Rating: 5.0


A fresh leaf is exposed to hotness,
As summer has kissed the tree,
Green water is evaporated,
Leaf has straddled in scorched path,
Oh, the fire prince is meditating,
No fire or no sun is burning,
Only wilted leaf this is,
But waiting to regain greenness,
Tumult is produced by people.

Wilted leaf is frenzy to meet,
As spring will come one day,
As rain will drop nectar soon,
Sagged branch invites more,
Sagacity will be achieved,
Surely now a pothole is found,
To enter and perform austerity,
Very secretly water is flown,
Blown wind has fathomed,
The frequency is revived,
No more wilting will be seen.

Orison is offered to recover,
From erosion of natural agents,
This is not immolation,
This is not also isolation,
A deep austerity is performed,
For gaining power and wisdom,
Although this leaf is wilted,
This has owned nature of course,
Fire does not burn it at all.

Many say, oh you, you must see,
Fire sage is performing oblation,
Sacrificing himself in summer fire,
But fire is calm and not burning.

A leaf provides the cycle of life season after season. Wilted leaf undergoes color changes and falls to mingle into nature. New leaves bring new life. Beautifully presented.

The wilted leaf conveys a lot through the cycle of season. Leafs are of different kinds. Leaves that look fresh in summer and leaves that cannot bear the scorching heat of the summer. A wilted leaf awaiting its vitality is beautifully expressed through this poem. Thank you Kumarmani ji for sharing a poem on a leaf.10

Some leaves though get scorched by the heat temporarily, they will come back to health if properly watered. In the same way, though some lives are drying up, they can be revived and brought back to life with consistent care and self will! Thus there is always hope. Great message!
