The Beautiful

It’s been raining very heavily in Chennai for the past few days. I have always enjoyed the rain, especially the dampness after the heavy rains. I went to my terrace when the rain ceased for some time. And I found this beauty lying on the damp floor. It is a leaf that fell from the tree nearby (well, please spare me I am not good at botany/gardening so I don’t know the name of the tree). The presence of this leaf on the bare floor made it look artistic and beautiful.

And I got to write this after that –

I have withered and I might be old,

but I am still here beautifying you and myself,
