A Leaf Story

What if a leaf
fell in love with another?
Someone at the edge
Of a branch below

He waits
For the right time of the day
For the Sun
To cast his shadow on her

He wiggles then,
Left and right
To tell her,
How beautiful she is

He whispers,
To the bees who come near
To take his message,
To the person, most dear

He orchestrates the wind
So that they can dance
Far away from one another
But, to the same beats

He waits for the rain
To caress each drop
Hoping it would
Reach her next

Then comes one day,
When he decides
He can't stay away from her anymore
Breaking off, he falls, towards her
