The Green Leaf


Dancing on the branches 
of lemon orange and whatsoever;
 depicting the glory of a grown up tree;
 some pale yellow some light green 
and some brownish Orange.
 contrasting finely with the shiny blue sky;
creating a sweet smelling breeze
 out of the soil they gathered from the Earth;
 not thinking anything;
twisting and bending on their own;
 and exhibiting the same design,
uniquely preserving
 each one of them's individuality.
 cherishing the tree,
to bear fruits one day;
 knowing or without knowing,
after that they will fall apart;
completing their purpose
of rejuvenating millions and billions of life
 not even once asking for a thanksgiving.
 just spreading the fragrance,
 of self purposelessness;
 expecting nothing in return,
the green leaf dancing,
seeming to talk with the air;
 effortlessly swinging in all directions,
 seeming to laugh hilariously;
 Rustling with the other leaves
 seeming to whisper in the ears
of the moist air,
their humorous moments of fun.
