We Are Dry Leaves Once Were Fresh

We are dry leaves once were fresh; Green lush and alluring, Same like you; Sought fresh breeze, Discharged rancid breath, We were once, source of growth, But now we are aged No more use of tree, Don't step on us, Don't crush by foot, Gives us pain, Hurts our heart, Pierces our soul, We are dry leaves... We once were fresh... But its now autumn We are back to earth World discards aged, But don't know we too were part of growth, © Sadashivan Nair,
