The Heart Of A Leaf

Here is a poem I describe the moment when I cared about The Heart Of A Leaf.. I wrote about what I thought when I saw a dried leaf losing a life battle..
Hope you all like it. :)

A swishing blow of wind came to destroy a life
Just a matter of seconds and away it will drive.
A situation grieved me: this was unusual
When a valueless leaf maybe lost a life battle.

Now just rewind 7 months of a plant’s life
When to bloom a leaf a bare branch strived.
A node arose and filled up that space.
On which later grew a leaf, spade-shaped

Now this little life boards onto its journey
Boards onto its journey of sacrifice
Onto its journey where it is given less value
Less value for the work it does throughout its life

The work of preparing food for the plant
During the day in the presence of sunlight
Okay I won’t bore you anymore
By giving a lecture of bio and plant life.

Leaf does its work with integrity, I must say
When being selfless is its chosen way.
When it spends its life in making food for others
And by running time its age is depicted by its color

Time passes by – gradually
When a leaf turns yellow from bright green
Have you ever thought about leaf’s soul’s purity?
That throughout its life how simple it has been!

No seeking for attention
No craving for attraction
Simply changing self’s colors
For betterment of others

How time passed by and it turned old
Yes, that brown, flat plate is now of no use
It Just Stayed In Sunlight Forever
Will it get its individuality ever?

This old leaf has a weak grip
Just matter of seconds and it will drip
And just then a swishing wind blew
When some end was near, I knew

This blow of wind created a
Situation which I grieve
The moment when I cared
