A yellow leaf is falling I thought <br />Till from near the ground <br />It flew back as a butterfly. <br /> <br />Across the Mithi river flowing to Arabian Sea, <br />It looked on the mangrove trunk <br />Like a piece of mirror reflecting the Sun. <br /> <br />On return, I placed it as white crane <br />Then turned from skywalk westwards <br />To see the suburban train, moving out <br /> <br />Like an earthworm with a purple strip <br />In the lower half of the body: <br />Living things and mechanical <br /> <br />Get interchanged and life's riches <br />Are now comprised of both? <br />How can it be same? One feels, and other does not!<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-and-things/
