Getting Old

On one of the branches hangs a lonely leaf
In the period of senescence.
Wrinkled, retarded, tired of its time
Covered with dust from its golden days.

Only noticed by the rays of sun
That sieve out through the dead branches
Looks down at an unawaken dog
That still might love its shade.

What would be this poor leaf thinking
Of life, of death, or of strong blows?
Or would it just being seeking blessings
Under the sun's and moon's gaze?

  2. Everyone will be going through this phase.... and this phase will be coming in to everyone's life sooner than they expect.
