Leaf torn from tree
By the fierce wind
Now floated in air
On the wind's arms
It danced upon free
Spiraling to its end
Finally it was free
From fate's tyranny
Being stuck always
The tree's nurturing
Now a sad memory
But life never waits
It fell upon a stream
Drifted further away
Till submerged down
Resting on a crevice
Of a rock very old
Which held it tight
'Let me go', leaf said
'Before I disintegrate
With flowing water'
The rock said, 'this is
The way I am, I don't
Move, I hold steady'
The leaf by then
Faded into water
Rock stood still
After billion years
Rock melt to lava
Fluid in magma
It kept circling earth
With magnetic waves
Searching for the leaf
Trillion years later
Sun burst supernova
All turned space dust
Tiny particles of the
Leaf and stone united
And danced eternally
