I tried catching a falling leaf,
from an autumn tree.
Swayed by the gentle winds,
floating in unpredictable directions.
I persevered to catch it,
before it touched the soil,
as I followed it's undulating motion.
Every second of my endeavour,
fraught with the fear of missing it.
The leaf,
tricked me,
in it's own whimsical manner,
by finally submitting itself,
to the brook.
Smirking at me,
for my failed attempt,
as it floated away,
filled with pride,
for its successful attempt,
on teaching me,
to stop chasing,
and letting things go.
