A Leaf

Must read

Babu Ram Shrestha ‘Yatri’

A leaf—
I am lost among other leaves
I am lost in the trees
I’m hanging out
Whirling from here to there
Keep turning and turning
In these winds….

As the moon breaks into tears at night
I rub its eyes
As heat increases during the day
I obstruct, feeble and feeble
Cast shadows
For yourself or for others
Comfortable or uncomfortable
In the art of living life
A leaf : I !
