Glad or Sad

Glad or Sad

A Poem by Abilash Uttama

I can’t retrieve the memory of birds singing song

I guess this autumn lasted a little too long

Flower bearing trees were a thing of past

And soon their memories were also lost

Autumn is gloomy, this is what they say

But I have a strange liking for it

And I perceive it in another way

I adore the glaring bare tree in moonlight

Ground veneered with leaves adds to my delight

I don’t miss the chirping of birds that much

Because silence means more to me than any word does

So long!  Things have been bad

Now I enjoy more when I’m sad

“Autumn will be over soon” my friend said

And now I think

Should I be sad or be glad?

I would be sad to see Autumn leave but there is still hope that it will visit us next season. Nicely penned Abhilash :)

thanks for the review :)
Wow! Once we get habituated to a pattern, it's quite difficult to break it and look ahead for something better. You've wonderfully portrayed that in the form of seasons, that are meant to challenge our flexibility..Good work Abilash :)
