Tree 1 - O No! Never Cut A Tree! Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Tree 1 - O No! Never Cut A Tree!
O No! Never cut a tree!
Trees are God's finest creations.
A tree enjoys a long life,
Adjusting to the wild, windy weather,
Accommodating with the moods of nature!
A man may live to be hundred, but,
A tree lives three times over,
Living to see generation after generation!
O No! Never cut a tree!
For a tree is alive! Full of awareness!
Seeing through the inner eye,
Smelling through its thick bark,
Sensitive to the touch of its admirers,
Inhaling the fragrance of the flowers
Exhaling the healing vital air,
Breathing in rhythm to the dance of nature!
O No! Never cut a tree!
A tree can spread its fragrance
Through the high mountains,
Through the deep valleys, like
The ‘kadamba' with its satin yellow petals
The eucalyptus with its long scented leaves
The juicy mango with its delicious aroma
The jackfruit with its rich, sweet flavour!
O No! Never cut a tree!
Blessed are the trees,
Brave and trustworthy,
Benign and faithful,
Never telling a lie,
Never hiding a fact,
Ever ready to listen without a groan,
Ever ready to tolerate without a grumble!
I am fond of taking photos of trees and have a big collection of tree photos. This is a photo taken by me during a walk in Deer Park in Delhi.
Thectree so sacred cannot be thought of being cut as it provides shade and shelter to all living beings. Moreover it purifies the air around and is a boon to the universe. Congrats fir this beautiful poem.
A true nature lover who sees God's mighty creation can write like this. I wish that all of us see a minute of what you so brilliantly versed; there would perhaps be a lot more tree to be loved and saved and we saved in turn. For they live only to do good, I liked it all the way to the roots.
Thank you Roop Rekha ji for reading the poem and appreciating it.

Marvellous expression. Really a tree have several qualities that you have depicted so wisely and grandiloquently. A tree must not be cut. Each and every lines are stunning and vibrant, still the favourite lines for me are.....They stand only to offer and Lend their arms through their branches To protect from the oppressive heat To shade from the lurking thieves To bestow the fruit of desire Even to feed with their seeds! Many thanks dear Dr. Menon for posting such a gem. May God increase your poetic thought. ........10
Thank you Kumarmani ji for your very kind thoughts and response to the Trees
