Undisturbed

UNDISTURBED

Curled up, brittle, faded fallen leaves

Lying peacefully unnoticed on the floor.

The sun rays hit the dusty tree

Rooted upright on a barren land.

Dried soil, thirsty earth

Waiting for the shower of rain.

The first drop meets the ground

Essence of petrichor diffused

Water splashes on the tree

Erasing the dust.

Leaves, drenched in water

Feel refreshed.

Stationary scene back in movement

With the downpour of rain.

Life back in action after a long pause

Like the change in nature

Everything at place after a chase,

Patience is what it takes.

I agree my friend.

We need patience. Nothing come easy in a life. Thank you Najam for sharing the amazing poetry.

This could not be more true. Nature indeed takes its own time, its own pace. What will be fertile, will be. Patience is what it takes. To add, it also takes a sense of awe and wonder at these grand, slow forces of nature. Beautifully and awesomely written, friend.

Enjoyed the poem, Rain, metaphor for life. Yes, we stagnate at times, but a nice storm comes along and gets us moving again. Great words and composition. Cheers!
