The last leaf - Haiku

Carpe Diem #873 starts with Chèvrefeuille's poignant haiku.
just one leaf
struggles with the wind
like Basho

© Chèvrefeuille

It reminded me of O.Henry's The Last Leaf.

the leaf struggles
life's purpose revealed
divine words



Thanks always, Kristjaan.

What am I returning to, I have a home? ©Nimi Arora Prompt by and Shared with- Poets United Midweek Motif - Human Trafficking
