'Detachment' - a poem

picture source: Clubsnap.com


The tree standing tall

near the river bed,

but never ever got a drop

the yellow never turned red.

The wait was eternal

longer than life itself;

there came thousand springs

but soul couldn’t reveal the self.

The leaves were buried

the twigs swept away:

grayed leaves dying underneath

and the river slid silently away.
