Fallen Leaf



When I see a fallen leaf something clicks in my mind
It's a symbolic of departure  of  a life never see again
 it shadows ,echoes and inflicts a pain  of  a kind
 I try  not to remember the very words again

But alas ! I find fallen leaves every where
In fall colorful leaves, in spring green leaves
In summer brown leaves, no way of forgetting there
 the thoughts  haunt me like fly leaves

 Demanding my mind to write it  before I die
 Will any one bear witness  for those words
 Two of my sisters  if they  got the back bone not to lie
  What a daughter said at her father's death unkind
    words as swords
