Until

Governed by others' needs Destined by one's own deeds A tiny little leaf, that's Green Waved Wildly with Wind to shine A young Deer came grazing along & the leaf didn't survive for long Unaware of what all it did, the Deer Kept on eating the leaves, sans any fear Only to realize it too late, Tiger's meal for the day, was its fate It was the king of the forest At its wish and will, could it rush and rest But Only until the hunter fired from his gun & (only until) the Moon eclipsed the Sun.
