J - A Jamboree's Continuum

 

Like what seemed

A routine jamboree 

The leaves groggily donned

Their most vibrant hues

And went on to face the world

Every day, as the daylight struck

Sometimes they tried

A vivacious crimson 

And at other times 

A sombre beige

One shade at a time

In one season each

Upholding the nature's 

Variety by a seize

They were meant to 

Keep performing their best

In order to engross 

All the spectators 

As they kept up with 

Their defined lives zest

But then, there came those times too

When the silent stream below 

Did gurgle past

With its gypsy feet 

Ever so welcomingly

Or the murmuring breeze sang 

All the yonder tunes

And tried to sway them away 

To that world beyond

But more often than not 

The leaves clinged on 

Dearly to their only bark

Heaving a sigh 

As the vagaries by-passed 

And every single time, waited they

For the soothing moon to descend

Hoping to wake up 

From the continuum 

Even if by a miracle 

To a new and a different day
