To introduce personification and make the description more vivid, you could revise the passage as follows:
"The wind playfully teased the leaf, making it dance on the branches, nearly ready, but not quite ready to let go for the fall into the waiting river. The water laughed with delight, sending a ripple of whispers across its surface in response."
This version personifies both the wind and the water, giving them human-like qualities that enhance the imagery.
