You Will Leave Poem by Abhay Mishra

You Will Leave



You will leave
And will leave nothing
You will walk away,
With the earth in feet
With the dust and heat
And never to retreat
For eternities it may last
Only shadows to cast
With hours they'll turn weak
And the future bleak
You will leave
And will leave nothing

The bridge that we've built
Slowly it will tilt
The other end unreachable
And all that would be our fable
Known to you and me
Oh! HE will also see
You will leave
And will leave nothing

My soul will seek the sand
My hours will, but you demand
My shoulders will feel your hand
My life will look for stand
My days would become
nights brimming with stars,
My ways
endless desert hours,
You will leave and will leave nothing
Only a song to sing,
And to fly back some memory wings.

Honest, raw, and powerful. Sometimes the best work we do comes from our perceptions of our lives. Excellent!
