Fallen Leaf
The tiny chocolate tinged mango leaf
Brimming with hope and dreams ahead
Swaying merrily in the soft breeze
Shaded from the hot sun by bowers above
The silky soft baby-leaf grows on.....
Its veins turns hard- he doesn't sway in the breeze
Stalk is strong,unpliable,leaf is now defiant
Months and years pass ..the leaf turns old
Last night it perhaps bent down to see its roots
A fallen leaf was today crushed under my boots !
