Am I Still Alive?

mdasadullah Poems

I saw a languid, thirsty flower with lost smiles was crying. I sprinkled water mixed with my smiles to stop it from dying. I saw a tree loosing its patience standing there for ages. I gave all my patience to it which was borrowed from sages. I saw breeze standing still, sad , amidst mirthfulness dearth. I couldn't see its sorrow, sadness, handed all my mirth. I saw a pond motionless, no ripples, dull, calm and quiet. I tied my liveliness to a stone and threw into it to excite. I saw hopeless sun filled with despair was setting in west. I gifted all my hope so that it rises again with promise and zest. Smiles, mirth and liveliness all lost, now I had none. Patience and hope were also not with me, all gone. Am I still alive? , thinking this I looked deep into the skies. A grave infront of me gazed at my body with greedy eyes.
