The message
















The wind swept a lone leaf
across the dry mountains and tall plains...

A long journey lay ahead
A relentless journey forward..

It was no aimless saunter..
A preordained destination awaits

A springly step to start with
but as it watched time fly by ..

Hope faltered
But the co conspirer ... was a kind friend

It lifted the the traveller brown
away and and away
past twilight and dawn

Until they reached a kingdom known
Where a princess stood in the lone tower
waiting with an arm drawn
Reaching out to the leaf now dry

It wasnt too late for the rejoicing pine ...
It had reached home to deliver ..
the message etched on its fair side...

from a friend once known..!

Isn't there a scene like this in Khuda Gawah?!?!? I guess it was a piece of flag/cloth instead of a leaf... ;) just kidding...
