THE LEAF
A gush of
the wind, and again it goes to and fro seems like searching for the direction
or pondering over the thought, where it’s going to end?
The leaf
with hues of bright green, leaving the adolescence, in her complete youth
switched with a branch, well with her family, all ready to explore the world.
Mix of emotions it had, sometimes enthusiastic in other second anxious to
explore the world. Till now seen the world with the elders’ eyes, hear the
stories they want to tell, curious more she went with the growing years until
she reached to the height from where she could see things herself. Want to be
free from the shadow of the family, fly with the birds or rather live among the
curious beings known as ‘humans’, she desired for so many years. So innocent
and the pure soul it was, unaware of the harsh reality.
Again, she
went to and fro, disappointed to realize that she can’t do anything which
desired, and would always remain with her family. Gloomy she looked, suddenly
tapped by another leaf, her big sister, “don’t be sad little baby, it’s not the
end! You can have all experiences, just have the faith.” With these words from
her big sister, the leaf again become delighted hoping and praying that one day
she can fly and do whatever she wanted.
With the
passing seasons, the elders die and young life comes to existence, but nothing
has change the desires holding within the leaf!! One day, a sudden storm shook
her whole body and the family. She looked down and saw the humans circling her
family, happiest to meet them, but wait! Why her family looks so scared and
afraid? The shivering paced and so the fear. The leaf unable to understand
suddenly found herself to the ground. Her family shouting in agony and asking
for mercy, but those selfish creatures far too away from their cries. All
leaving the souls. A drop of tear came into the leaf’s eyes, there she laid
down in despair and pain, something never imagined, never thought. Her home and
the family all lost!
A breeze
came and pulling her away from the loved ones, took away! All her desires
became true; she was flying like a bird, met the humans. But is this truly the
way she wanted her life to end!
With the
tears she landed on the road, taking last breath, disgraced by the reality she
closed her eyes in the end.
THE END
