brand new days


let me tell you a story...

it was a brand new day. for the leaf, it was the greatest day it could've imagined. a new time to grow, to flourish, to make things alot greater. it can feel the warmth of the sun's welcome, nourishing it with all that she needed--the sense of becoming ang belonging.

all was calm and clear. the leaf was looking forward to what more life has to offer for it. when suddenly, the winds came. the leaf felt thrilled of discovering new things. it felt the urge of seeing beyond what the tree offers-- to see beyond the mountain top, where the tree resides in peace and mediocrity. the leaf sought to ride with the wind and see where it'd take it, thinking that maybe the ride was worth it.

never did it knew that the winds were bound to bring greater and savage storms. and the brand new day was thrown to oblivion.

if only the leaf would've lingered forever in that brand new day and decided not to take the risk of flying. perhaps at this moment, it still stayed on safe ground, well-nourished and undergoes gradual but promising growth. maybe things would've been better.

and in sad reality, the leaf sank deep into a puddle of rain, with no one not even a thing to cling onto. and probably indifference to pain is its only tool for struggle.

i hated that leaf, then if i did who else will help her?

and in the end, the leaf only waited to wither and die.

and hope for another brand new day to come, only this time, with the hope of forever erasing any memory of "that brand new day," of the wind, and even of that tree.
