The Leaves

The Leaves
Life is a leaf of a tree
Green or dry - blowing up and down
On the soil or water
Life sketches life
As the leaves flutter on
The heart charmed with
The age takes it up all - the leafy body
And falling down on bed rests in the grave
Life smiles on life in spring
All seem to be colorful and green
On the other hand
The scattering leaves under the feet
Getting mixed with the soil in the sun and rain
Though they glitter with the bright color of brown and pink.
