Harsh Tunes

Harsh Tunes… by Nasra

The lane laden with shady trees,
Gave no hint of the ruthless vast ahead.
Shocked was I, as the traveler,
Scorched by the sight that lay ahead.
I tremble and quiver with the leaves,
As they wither off dry and parched.
Worn put by flute of time,
Frayed by each passing moment in time.
Such harsh tunes that nature plays,..Perhaps
To hone us for the harsh tunes that nature plays.

  1. Long trail as it seems
    Pattered in colors
    Straight lane shaded with trees
    Countless leaves clothing the branches
    Allowing few rays
    Trailing through the earth
    I’m a traveler walking in this lane
    This is heaven on a desert land
    As I continued my path, I counted my blessings
    A head of me a new trail furnished new journey
    Trees seems to shrink in front of my eyes
    Worn out by flute of time
    And the passing wind, seem to be unkind
    Even the sun lost its empathy of love
    Burning away the leaves
    Evaporating its life
    The branches had no place to retreat
    Collided into desert heat
    Heap of sands scrubbed into its fragile trunks
    Sharps claws with the will of wind
    Here are my hands
    So tide in sheltering fragile trees
    How come at times even nature plays harsh tunes

  2. Welcome here Nasra..
    .. why do u hate your composition ? ?
    ..dont we just put abstract emotions into absolute words when we write poetry,.. so that.. there is no place to “think-before-you-write”…you have expressed what went through your intellect at that point of time and were honest in expressing it.. so dont hate any of your compositions.. each one is worth the attention
