A NEW GREEN

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

A young new leaf grew on the tree

Fresh with life, it was gleaming green

Like the color of hope, it was born with

His dreams in its eyes he had indeed.

The tree was proud of this new young

Great expectations he had from this one!

"He'll grow and trap the sunniest light

Reach with its stem the highest height"

But..the leaf was just born

So young, about the world still unknown

Yet to feel his very first morning dew

To reach out to the sky,still so far from its view

It was spring when he met the chirpy tweety

Summer was gone, in came season rainy

The raindrops, it liked to play with

And there was the tweety to sing to it

The innocence he had what everybody liked

And the leaf was happy with no rules to abide

But then the young leaf had eventually to grow

Responsibilities, expectations and too much of rules to follow

When the winds blew hard he had to be strong

When the humming would sing, he would dance along

In all his growing years he had never realised

That one day he'd have to face the harsh realities of life

The winds had taught him how to bow

The tweeties and pixies shared his joy and sorrow

With age, innocence was lost alongwith its freespirit

Rules and lines had already weakened it

Then one dry autumn day, the air blew so very strong

The leaf now fragile and weak, could'nt anymore hold on..

It fell off from its tree onto the ground

Lost with such others, somewhere around

But everyday the tree still grows

With all new green that in sunlight glows

The tree has found another fresh new hope

That dances to chirps and to wind it bows!!
