roots going deeper,
entangled in each other
snuggling in earth's lap.
Seasons change,
Spring to Summer
Monsoon to Autumn,
shed leaves everywhere,
golden hue carpet,
speaking its stories
of times and storms.
Slowly, paving way

branches shook in hurricane,
snow numbing its fruit,
heat scorching its trunk,
nests drenched in rains,

blooming in abundance.
The tree rooted in the soil

head held high,
speaking its eternal truth
of cycle of life, as it lives on...
