You and Me…. And The Tree

Manisha Yadav
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!!
