My Lonely Palm Tree Poem by nimal dunuhinga

My Lonely Palm Tree

Rating: 5.0


A leaf of the palm, borne as a symbol of victory
But you are isolated like me,
Though we are tall like a Watchtower yet cannot touch the pallid sky.
You have a simple stem and terminal crown of large leaves.
But I am uprooted in the saga and and my broken crown pawned for a song.

Dedication to the deceased Marxist Sri Lankan celebrated singer *Gunadasa.Kapuge

Your elegiac mood has hurt you into poetry. Beautiful write. I am sorry for the difficulties your country is experiencing. Always your friend, Sandra
