Falling Leaves
Falling leaves
Drying of twigs
Turning green trees
Into standing still alone
Like dead hanging skeleton
Bed of dead leaves
Creating manure for supplant
For future plant
For the tender sampling
Waiting for rain
To set alive again
We can learn
Learn from them
Art of survival
The mode of revival
Shedding up off
Unnecessary burden
Making both ends meet
With little of resource
To join the marching fleet
Taking rest at source
To serve future
Follow the rule of nature
Learn from other's lives
Like falling leaves
