The Leaf...Towards Sunshine…

So the leaf, on her journey, finds herself in a dark low place…its still and chilling and with no air…a vacuum…no feelings…nothing true here…only falseness hangs low and strong…and she shivers…how did she, the kind of lively person she is, reach such a place…how had she not seen where she was drifting…she feels herself falling…falling in her eyes, in her image of herself…she owed it to herself to stay afloat…come too far to let things be like this…so she tells herself that she should do it as beautifully and gently as she can…she tries to spiral downward…gentle twirls that make her feel better…but in a place with no air, there’s just that much anyone can do… all of her journey and trials to come here?...she believes that there can be better but has no strength to take herself out of this…
And then when she least expected it, she feels a gentle little breeze make her flutter…feel herself again…could there be friends that she’s made on this journey that will come to her rescue…she just had to reach out and so many came forward to embrace her in their arms…she felt them lift her…she just held on to the breeze and it showed her the way out…she could feel the sunlight again…she could breathe again…her eyes filled up and she had no words…she will stick it out…she will leave that space behind her…soon she’ll be faraway and the nightmare will gently leave her alone…
She will learn to rise above…learn to forgive and forget dark spaces and hope they find their light… she will learn that there was something to learn from this experience and will only move ahead with that...only take her learnings with her...

Thank you my breeze…Sam, Sha, She, Pri, Ko, As and Yuv…
You keep my faith in people alive…you keep my faith in me alive…you keep me alive…

: ) no looking back…too much good awaits the leaf ahead…
Onwards, dear little leaf…onwards…
