A lone leaf on the empty branch of a tree
Awaits the winds that would set him free
Free to join his friends down bellow
Free to be with the rest and go
Because with them by his side
The end would seem like a happy tide
A sympathetic wind blows
Carrying him along with its flow
Nearer to his friends he gets
Swaying in a heavenly rhythm he sets
Just then a gust of an angry wind makes it way
And blows the poor leaf far and away
Away from his home and friends
In the unknown he now awaits his end…

We humans are a lot like these leaves hey? Never know which way the wind is going to blow! 🙂
How true, and we are so easily swayed by different opinions too. We never know which way or when or how we are going to go… 🙂
Yep we really are. Who knows which way we’ll blow next! Thanks for capturing this in words Ashwini 🙂

Winds of emotions that keep us tied or set us free…Well written Ashwini.
