The dewdrop
Submerged the universe.
departed
the misty
damp old nights
Hugged
A fresh and short lived leaf.
Clung to the suspended branch,
A life span.
What is the chance ?
Will it last?
If it falls
on the grounded dust
in a final thrust.
Vanishing ever.
Yet it yearns,
Stilling the beats
Ceasing -
As it never did.!
