The Leaf
The leaf on the high branch fluttered wildly in the wind.A gush of rain shook it, scared it.
He could not understand.
The rain was his friend.
He remembered the day, when he met her for the first time.
He was young, the soft droplets of water cleansed him.
He enjoyed spending time feeling the soft rain gliding over him.
The tree also approved this friendship.
The leaf grew up playing with the rain.
While he tried to catch the drops, she tried to weigh him down.
But today, he felt like he did not know her.
He was scared.
The leaf did not understand what was goin on.
The rain was trying to show off her power.
He could not take the force any longer and with a snap, he got seperated from the tree.
As the leaf crashed to the wet earth, the rain stopped.
Cradling the dead leaf in the water, the rain now wondered.
How did it happen? How did their games become fatal?
How did she manage to destroy one thing that was precious to it?
