Not sure who… |

Haha, I think you are praising your poetic feelings about the subject more than this poem, which mostly only acts as a reminder for you. Which is fine. As long as you take time to read and respond, I am a happy camper. |

Nah, I’m not praising my poetic feelings… I am merely trying to express my dilemma. Time is an illusion but it feels so real. If I were to sit down and watch the falling leaves like I was doing, it’ll just inspired me to explore more about those leaves. Unfortunately or fortunately, those leaves aren’t mine. I can only watch them. But while watching and almost hearing the rustling sound, Time feels so intangible. It is until I hear “mom” that Time becomes tangible to my senses. I can almost taste it as if it was an ice cream cone in my hand. Mind you, I enjoy ice cream but sometimes is too sweet for me. I think may be that the best solution would be to just sit on that bench and watch the leaves fall and may be I could somehow bring the ice cream too? I am afraid that if I sit too long on that bench contemplating the falling leaves that my ice cream my melt. I’m not a multi tasker. How can I eat my ice cream while contemplating the falling leaves? Either I praise the ice creams taste or the view of the falling leaves? This is why sometimes I say I am not a poet. I’m just someone existing. |

Haha, I was just teasing. You are not vandalising that bench; you are the one who sat on it and enjoyed the scenery by uttering your visions. You have given me, or any writer for that matter, the best satisfaction of posting his/her works. |
