Meet Me Under The Falling Leaves

By Manasvi Srivastava

Just meet me under the falling leaves…

Because autumn just killed the summer with the softest kiss..

If you notice me there looking for a friend for the long road climb;

I hope that you'll be the one standing at the roots, holding out your hands

To catch my fall every time...

But wait.. .

If you find me smiling as calmly as water but dancin' like flames, just like the ones of a bonfire-

Just know, that Chaos is the only friend of mine;

But this time,

I know my ways -

To grow & bloom, untamed & freely & fearlessly,

Still staying tender & kind...
