Leaves , did you have this inkling ,
when young and soft and tender
you bloomed in the branches ,
that some day this very wind
which ripples with your laughter ,
which ripples with your laughter ,
Leaves , did you smile
thinking of the red hues of autumn skies ?
Or shuddered ,
at the thought of the shortening days ,
and the trees bereft of you .
Have you ever pondered
that in your legacy,
you won't even leave
a speck of your shadow behind !
And the autumn chill will wipe away
all the traces of your gentle soft murmur .
And now ,
when you are smouldering red ,
yellow and gold ;
yellow and gold ;
when you are leaving all that behind
to which you clinged desperately ,
when you are embarking in a new journey
on the wings of autumn ,
when you are embarking in a new journey
on the wings of autumn ,
tell me leaves ,
do you feel a pang ?
Or is it Freedom ?
meeta .
meeta .
