I'm but a leaf in a tree, one of many,
I glisten in the morning light,
The wind blows me from time to time,
And raindrops soothe my veins, until
I become old and withered in winter -
Then I fall to the ground.
I am a smooth rock beside a shallow creek,
Day in and day out I am unmoving,
I stay still.
Sometimes a heavy flow on the creek may turn me over,
Or may just slightly move me from my stillness,
And then, again, I stay the same.
Do you see the water, so deep below the old well?
Yes, that is me.
I have been here as long as I can recall,
The only company I have is the sky,
He and I engage in a neverending staring contest.
Once in a while, a bird or stray animal drops something,
They look down at me for a few moments-
And I resume my contest with my companion.
I'm candle placed on the grand table,
On some nights someone lights the wick and I burn,
Only for mere minutes.
Someone comes to blow the flame away,
And I am to wait to burn another night.
Until one day I am just melted wax.
I have a story to tell, like any other,
Like every other thing,
Although there's not much to say-
The words are but a handful and simple.
And after those choice words are spoken,
I remain - I still remain.

12 commentsThis is by far, one of the best poems I've ever read :')))
I am so proud of you :'))) So so proud :'))
ahh thank you thank you egg
Sometimes I feel proud not to be moved by a few words a poem has to offer, but sometimes I pity myself for not being moved by the few words of it. And this is one of that sometimes & pitying moments and I feel like moved a lot.
I will write a short poem right from where you stopped, let's see how far I can go to ruin it. :p
oh my god!!!! are you sure you're going to do this? Please do.... start off from where I finished and see how far can you go... and tag me when posting 😉
I do admit I'm not good at writing or poetry, this was my third attempt.. but I kind of felt good about it as it was just my third attempt and I have more chance of doing better
and I don't believe you'll ruin anything
If I manage to write it, somehow, this will be my third attempt on poetry 😂
Let's see how this ends (or even starts 😉)
no way!!! really??? now you must do this... just imagine.. it will be our collaboration and both of our third attempt
Avahaksls WTF MEDUSA!?!! POETRY!!!!! DAMNNNNN
ehmmm um yes? I'm trying here
Well keep on at it this was beautiful!!!
Dear @surrealfia, sorry to jump in a bit off topic but may I ask you to support the HiveBuzz proposal?
It recently lost its funding, is struggling to get back above the HBD stabilizer proposal, and is in dire need of help.
You can support it on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
On behalf of The HiveBuzz team, thank you!
