"A falling leaf"

Staring at the wilted leaves out of the window, she whispered"how hauntingly pleasant it is". It was 27th
day of Namal lying lifeless in  sanatorium. Preoccupied by the swirling mists of emptiness,a flashback
played in her eyes full of chasing magnificent dreams,unfulfilled secret yearnings, and flickering
moments of joy . Her eyes sparkled like a star enveloping the luminosity of whole universe.The doctor
pronounced her pulse vanishing from existence.A threshold of dark shadow crumpled my soul while
feeling her departing in my arms.Wasn't she too young to be the first falling leaf of that autumn?
