que sera sera

roller coaster ride our lives
blown by mighty dash
like a feeble leaf bidding farewell
to the branch of maple
her all time abode ,
nurtured it ,fed it, saved it
from rages of harsh seasons ...
knows not where it is heading
her dream to touch the sky
grab the clouds
swoosh and swing
to melodies of liberation
caught unawares at destiny's plans
it could never fathom ..
rush of river rage
took it to unknown shores
wind caressed its drenched body
zapped to snow capped mounts
frozen to core of her being
it yearned for warmth
in memories of yore
nostalgia of the same branch
at the break of dawn
and that amber ball
and those mist droplets
promising her youth and life
watching a long road swirled by
waiting to be trampled and thrashed
asking for just one last favor
to tell the branch and her fellow leaves
what they meant for it
never knew their worth

never cared a bit.

a faint drop of water on her

left it like a tear of remorse

all alone and broken
vanished under the wheels
just like wheels of time
running for all of us
never wait for tomorrow
for the branch that holds us firm

adds meaning to our being

shedding haze from crisis of identity
needs to be told we love
yes we do we always did
and we always will.......
