THE LEAF SURVIVED

Oh! Look at that leaf
Clinging on that tree,
Ready to fall anytime
Counting its last days;
Last time I saw it
Was bubbling afresh,
Surrounded by pals
Looking to go ahead.

Struggled through summer
Slapped hard by monsoon,
Journey started and ended
Cycle now got completed;
Many were there on tree
But I remember only it,
Just like my writing
It's struggle is its identity.
