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.
