The Fallen Axe

This was my first ever poetic effort in English. As is quite evident, it sprung up from a personal tragedy, which at the time of writing(March 2012), happened just a month back

It's been a month

Since the axe fell

The pain has abated but

The scar, does tell

 

Of the joyous morns

And the momentous eves

That were all as naught

As fallen autumn leaves

 

Of the breaking wave

That hits the shore

Is towering one moment

And then, no more

 

At times I think

Is this the end

Or on the long road

Has come a new bend

 

Hoping for a sun

That showers its light

And makes this scar

Disappear from sight

 

Was it for good?

No one can tell

It's been a month

Since the axe fell
