Silent Ode to the sacrosanct “TREE”
SILENCE..!! Silent was my birth,
Silent is my growth,
Beaten by the weather,
Battered by the rain,
Burnt in the sun,
Jostled by the gusts,
and laden by the snow… yet silent..!
Neither did I shed a tear nor did I mourned in pain,
Took everything in my stride,
Surmounted the odds and flourished.. yet silent..!
Come the spring I rose and sprung to life,
Sprout and bloom, smiled and prevailed.. Yet silent..!
Spread my arms jauntily to embrace everything,
Generously.. Yet silent..!
Pampered the tiny and the mighty.. yet silent..!
Gave the shade of my wings even to the one who axed me … yet silent..!
SILENCE… broke once and forever when I crashed to the ground,
Now my body remains still and silent,
Mouldering but still an abode to many,
My body now withering in time to join the circle of life … yet silent..!
Only to be born again.. Grow again … embrace again …. SILENTLY….!!
