And The Tree https://narisakti.com/you-and-me-and-the-tree/ https://narisakti.com/you-and-me-and-the-tree/#respond Wed, 25 Aug 2021 06:22:22 +0000 https://narisakti.com/?p=1605 You and Me Have viewing eyes, So does the tree In its leaves. 
You and Me
Have breathing lungs,
So does the tree
In its roots.
You and Me
Have dancing feet,
So does the tree
In its branches.
You and Me
Have speaking mouth,
So does the tree
In its seeds.
You and Me
Have beautiful clothes,
So does the tree
In its flowers.
You and Me
Have dependent relationships,
So does the tree
Shelter many a nest. 
You and Me
Can reproduce replicas
Alas! the tree
Produces only fruits, not a tree
How great art we !
You and Me 
Have desire that plunders
The good tree
Only gives, yields and surrenders
Oh!! Tree
How much greater art thou!!

A face beautifully chiseled A body delicately sculpted. Her beauty  Matchless and flawless, Could leave the beauty pageants Envious. Nevertheless, This doe-eyed beauty  Reflected deep pain.  Sometimes  She watched and whispered  To the kites soaring high, As if sending through them Her prayers and pleadings.  Sometimes   She would scan the pedestrians  In an attempt to spot a soul  Who would listen to her.  Occasionally  She would give a faint smile  But never uttered a word. She was quiet and  She remained silent, Though her being spoke volumes. Yet, None cared  None dared  To understand  But her eyes expressed something That remained unsaid...  Her silent presence  Could rarely have missed our attention. But  Today Her profound and undeniable absence  Screamed out from the evening newspapers  " A dumb girl, gangraped, hangs herself " ]]> https://narisakti.com/an-echoing-silence/feed/ 0 1542
