A Sandalwood Tree Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A Sandalwood Tree



amidst
this intense forest
where no human
treads upon
so much of incense
who inhales
the perspiration
of these
sandalwood trees
even if human does not
it' stands tall
when human knows
he bereft to benefit
poor tree
it has no arms to resist
even after death
it's life lingers
in it's smell

Some creations are like that: born to live even after death; born to give pleasures at one’s own cost! Best wishes.

Some are born for the pleasure of others. Sandalwood is one such earthly creation born to die and give pleasure to others even after its death.
