Petals In the Wind

I ran at the sight of the petals Which swiftly flew past me, In my little shoes I chased it Thinking that an adventure this will be. They floated,all purple against the sky With no obstacles to block their way, I ran over the hill and tried to reach But by then they were further away. The little petals danced to the tunes of the wind, Every step they could master . Which made me want them even more And dashed behind them,faster. When they did a glissade And descended to about my height, I jumped and caught few of them My eyes twinkled with delight. I gently opened my fist But they seemed as lifeless as could be, So I tiptoed and gave them back To the wind where they'd be free. They whirled around me in a circle To this day in my memory this experience is pinned, At last they left me with a magical fragrance The purple petals in the wind..
