1. O! My Spiritual Tree
O! My Speaking tree
You speak to me
Through your dignified silence.
Your ways are myriad
You let me listen to the subtle sounds
of your hidden melodies,
You make me aware of the soft vibrations of nature.
2. A Tree is a Teacher
A Tree is a sincere teacher
An awesome teacher
She teaches without a single sound
Without a murmur.
3. Haiku 3
Cool as a cucumber
Calm as a yogi
A majestic tree.
4. The Holy Basil
The green leaf spreads its fragrance
Through the aroma of a loving heart
Of a tranquil mind,
The aroma of friendship,
The fragrance of oneness.
5. Peepal Leaves
Humming Leaves that sing a song
Heaving with sensitive breeze
Hailing the Vedic Hymns
Of the highest truth
Heralding the glory of God.
6. Lady Spring
Come, O! Lady Spring!
Embrace us with your warmth
Let us celebrate your season
With complete joy and cheer.
