Playing God


I breathe onto dry leaves
Playing God
Thinking of resurrecting them
from their crumbling sleep.

They did not wake up
but rustled away
Stating they had left my world
Alas i forgot
I was a mortal, too.

P.S. I had published this post before but had removed it the same day. So, re-publishing it for those who had missed it.

hmm..yeah..there are things we cannot do because we are humans BUT we should be glad about it..because if we can be GOD..we would forget him and his endless love for us, right..?

Shas said...

Shas said...

@ Sourav,
Yes, words can become alive.

Shas said...

@ Vivek,
Ya, human is an ever hungry being. When satiated, it gets replaced with another.

Haddock said...

rustled leaves........
brings back memories.

vivek said...

Nothing is replaceable ..when it comes to emotions ....they are real ..n true friendship , love are some entities which are not replaceable @ all , remains till life time , other than that are variable things which keep on changing w/o ones choice ,as change is other form of life.

Shas said...

@ Hobo,
Hmm...can be if only played right. The fact is that Humans will remain a human only even if they assume themselves to be playing God for a while.

Shas said...

@ Shalini,
Thankz!!

Shas said...

@ Ayu,
Rightly said. Ya, we may forget God and may even misuse the Godliness that one may posses after all we humans are prone to worldly vices.

Shas said...

@ Haddock,
Ya, it does. The sound and the image conjures up another image n sound that of ruffling pages of the past or of an old diary.

Pushkaraj said...

Grammar was my enemy number 1 in school and I don't want to worry whether this is a transferred epithet or something else. But - 'Crumbling sleep' is beautifully and aptly put.
