Amid Falling Leaves
One cool
afternoon,to crack
silence and boredom~
Hustling wind allured the tree to perform
a belly dance for his rhythm.As he swished heavily..
song evaporated from his giant mouth.Doused by his
breath she shivered and instantly fell crazy for his
tune ;began twisting & turning her trunk and jiggled
her branches.Engrossed shiny leaves too enjoyed
entertainment by bouncing it's fragile body up-down,
left and right.Sensing the heat, he sung with long
deep breaths.Ripe leaves lost grip and started
plummeting one by one below...On the ground
kept nodding @
@ and marching @
the fat red ant
colony without
@ worries,tossing @
cubes of grain
on their back
@ to safely store @
for their winter days..
Amid falling leaves, being stable
they steadily concerted on their task without a pause.
