Tree of Melancholy

The life tree 

Of sadness

Oh I aspire

To be joyous

But my leaves of

Past memories

Flutter in the

Winds of tradgedies

The melancholy just

Seeps into my roots

Rendering me unconscious

And I stay 

Still and motionless

A wanderer

Walking against 

An gust of whirling wind 

I keep hovering 

In unseen circles

Like Odysseus

Never to reach

My true destination 

Ever again
