Tree

By Ankita Siddiqui • October 21, 2015

The tree grounded in the soil

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

for cold, stark Winter.

The tree has weathered

branches shook in hurricane,

snow numbing its fruit,

heat scorching its trunk,

nests drenched in rains,

which birds built lovingly.

Welcome! Spring again

new innocent buds

blooming in abundance.

The tree rooted in the soil

stands ever so firmly,

head held high,

speaking its eternal truth

of cycle of life, as it lives on...
