"the vibrancy gone forever
it is what you assume.
but I embrace the ground
as this is what will renew me-
brave. heroes. forgotten."
whispers the leaf to me.
I ponder over the words
chew them with wisdom
think, of my bent form
in my twilight years
dying with as much dignity
I get out of curiosity of pains
"whithered physical shape of leaves
teach me spirituality"
