☆ Autumn and Winter ☆

The absent autumn

Peeps in for a little while,

Vanishing again.

You are used to its vanishing tricks,

You are also used to its appearing all of a sudden,

And for the first time,

You don’t get swayed by its arrival,

Your emotions don’t start pirouetting,

And poetry doesn’t pour like rains.

You’ve rather started loving

The icy winter.

It does freeze you for a while,

But it’s more realistic

And then, it always lives up to its promises

Of nothingness.

When the autumn bids adieu

After its short trip,

You are rather happy,

Since there is no ripple to disturb you

In the sea of your peace.
