The False Promise

As I walk by the long deserted road
Covered with lush green grasses on either side
And cool breeze blowing against my face
My eyes keep searching for
Green leaves that are beautifully shaped
Looking bright and promising to be evergreen
I pick them up as I locate these rare leaves
Just to lose them soon
Bound to the beautiful maiden called hope
The heart reassures,
They are just a few feet away
Mind says they are passing clouds and never yours
Contradictory to the perception of mind
I found this exceptional leaf
Cherished it, nurtured it, preserved it
Believing it was a promise from the high priests
Jus to learn
It was a false promise
Its all the same….. No exceptions!!
