What The Ripe Leaf Said
Parakkadavu P.K
 

The Ripe Leaf Said:
"From such height
Let me return to earth.
We too, like human beings,
Must get back to earth.
I shall then rot and rot,
And turn to manure, and then
Through the roots come to you once again,
I shall one day return as a blood-red flower
Amidst your green hues. And
A soft hand of love shall reach out to me."
At this, the green leaves nodded.
And at that very moment
The Ripe Leaf fell to earth.
