The Time Tree Poem by Tajudeen Shah

The Time Tree

Rating: 5.0


Time set out journey
All alone by The Noble gesture.
Stars followed time
As obedient shadows since then.
Winds took directions
Within granted walls of nature.
Void in perennial gloom
Suffered left overs of milky ways.
Atom boasted loud
Keeping element's trait in whole.
Sun Stood Solid
With his energy treasures full.
Seas Smile with crystalline waves
Concealing cool richness beneath.
Rivers flow blessing
Lands and creating cultures.
Brooks giggle and sing
Persistently Of man and nature.
Planets all are blessed,
Each with a nature specific.
Earth got her mates in turn,
Man, Lilies, Lotus, Dragon flies,
Bees, Honey, Ants and Beetles,
Rainbows and Butterflies,
Who compose a melody euphonious,
Accompanied by rain and winds,
For generations who would visit
The most enduring Time-Tree!

Time Tree is enduring, but ever new. Moment by moment, time glides into eternity. Riding in the submarine of time, we all will disappear once and for all and the progeny will come in to water and nourish the Time tree! ! So time is at once constant and in a state of eternal flux. The poem abounds in beautiful images like the sun standing solid with his energy treasure full, the earth with her innumerable play mates, the smiling sea with crystalline waves etc. Great Write! !

fabulous personification of Time...... a journey started with big bang and reached up to century 21st. through shifted images a cosmic panorama shaped Wordsworth`s nature where Hope beauty and serenity welcome this immortal and mysterious creature............ indeed Mr Sha succeeded to portrait the complex time matrix into a very simple beautiful and loving experience......very few has such divine bliss.....
