Journey Of A Leaf

By V G Sathve

Nurtured tenderly at stems bosom

Green chlorophyll gleaming with joy

Cooking simple food for hungry mother

Photosynthesis the hardworking profession done

flung far away from the mother trunk

Branch of separation growing wider

Blosoming flowers right above

Focus of attention snatched away

Chef of my house

No credit for my work

Foliage blooming

Competition for my species

Gutsy winds whistling fiercely

My will power facing it bravely

Stem leans towards gravity

Sap oozing out of my wound

Winds sweeping me off my feet

nostlagic memories running in mind

Sap from stem weeping her heart out

One way ticket to an unknown destination

Gravity pulling me from home

Heart pulling me towards home

To believe dreams have shattered on the ground

Or to believe to nurture new dreams on the ground

Expert professional chef up there

A piece of litter in the park down here

Gust of wind changed destiny forever

Should have grabbed onto the stem strongly

Here i lie miserable alone

Beautiful autumn leaves some say

Litter dirtying the place some say

A child separated from its mother i say
