An October Morning

Thought of publishing my poem, which got me into first position in the writing challenge that was held in the year 2021, by The Unheard Stories Writing Community

An October Morning

Summer is gone

Fall is here.

Awakened by Nature's spell ,

The leafy cacophony in the gloomy woods;

This beautiful blue-skied October morning,

I witnessed a brilliant serenity....

The welcoming of cold winters,

Oh! How Nature in itself is a magnificent bliss;

I sit taciturn...

The calming onset of seasons,

The fallen leaves making the trees almost bare and decayed

Yet the trees stand tall and give warmth of life in this leafy bedlam.

Nature calls upon us ;

Let bygones be bygones

Let us shed all anxieties and fears,

Let us enjoy the journey of life.

As Nature has always been a giver,

Nature has always been a giver.

Betwixt the daily musings and work,

The sweet chirping of birds adjoining the autumnal lull;

I thereby capture the momentary pulchritude.

Witnessing the far away landscapes,

This solitude let's me introspect....

The changing leaves signifying humane moods;

Moods of laughter, joy and sorrow,

All revived with Nature

As Nature has always been a giver,

Nature has always been a giver.

Humane Expectations

It is famously said by someone whom I know very well that - "Don't expect anything from life as it's full of uncanny stories toggling up and down with disheartening consequences that will only make u all the more morose " Well let me put this straight onto you. Through hope, belief, trust, faith we tend to grow the seeds of our expectations and so we must sow what we reap as ; "practice what you preach" is somewhere correct for all the practical folks out there. If we have the aforementioned 'hope' within our mind and body, automatically we tend to expect. I believe expectations only come from the people you love the most. With the love and concern that you shower towards your loved ones you might as well expect the same in return as Newton's third law of motion goes by our very instincts. . You may say sacrifice and forgiveness helps us to expect nothing in return. But we are humane my dear friend! Physically made of flesh and blood...

Nostalgia

I miss you every single day I miss you every single moment Without you my life's incomplete. The breaking dawn welcomes a new day Sunshine in the morning gives an eternal bliss. The cold breeze, the sweet chirping of birds somehow pleases my inner soul. Far away I see the clock tower, the old mystic abbeys It is reminiscent of my good old happy-go-lucky school days Today after twenty long years, I pass through the streets of Little Valley High School, I still hear the alarm bell, The hymns, chants, incantation and prayers in Church hall; The cacophony of the students makes me feel nostalgic... I am amazed to see the adjacent alley which was once ours' hidden secret rendezvous Memory never fades never transforms It remains afresh and new in our mind's gallery. Arunita Lahiry
