Amid Falling Leaves

One cool
                          afternoon,to crack
                       silence and boredom~
         Hustling wind allured the tree to perform
  a belly dance for his rhythm.As he swished heavily.. 
song evaporated from his giant mouth.Doused by his 
 breath she shivered and instantly fell crazy for his 
  tune ;began twisting & turning her trunk and jiggled  
   her branches.Engrossed shiny leaves too enjoyed 
entertainment by bouncing it's fragile body up-down,  
  left and right.Sensing the heat, he sung with long 
   deep breaths.Ripe leaves lost grip and started 
    plummeting one by one below...On the ground
                             kept nodding               @
            @            and marching      @
                            the fat red ant
                            colony without 
                 @        worries,tossing               @
                             cubes of grain
                             on their back
           @              to safely store          @
                         for their winter days..
              Amid falling leaves, being stable 
 they steadily concerted on their task without a pause.
