The leaf and the tree

Rustling through a banyan tree,

A brisk plucked out a leaf

Holding onto the breeze

The leaf tried to fly high in the sky.

Looking at this the tree became angry.

The helpless leaf and the infuriated tree

All of a sudden, started a squabble,

In a few seconds that led to a quarrel,

And I was there to witness their battle.

“Abandoning me you tried to fly away

Making new friends you sailed through the wind

Destiny is unknown and you missed the direction

Although I was there couldn’t read your mind

But was quite aware that you would be buried.”

Said the tree...

Never had the leaf expected

Such a flippant remark

That made it disheartened

As if it was moving through a ghostly park.

The old and dry leaf with a heavy heart

Asked the tree to have some respect

While making such a blatant statement.

“I have served whole my life

Cooking for you day and night.

How can you forget to feed yourself,f my dear,

I have been burnt to satiate your hunger.

From birth till today I breathed

For you, still, it’s not me who abandoned

You, rather it's you who deserted me.”

The leaf told, smirking at the tree.

By this time the moon had come.

With the darkness, the leaf was gone.

Away from the sight of the tree

After a long time, feeling free.
