M. Asim Nehal Tree Poems

A man started to wonder
about the life of a tree
standing at a place
without any movement
...

In the fields of green,
amidst the blooming flowers,
stands the Peepal tree,
Its boughs stretch high to the sky,
...

Winter's chill has biten its branches bare several times,
summer sun burnt its cover with a promise in the air.
yet It stands defiant, strong by answering nature's call,
It gives oxygen to living creatures for a vital breath,
...

Now it makes me realise what shade I am missing these days
The heat of the sun and the cool breeze at the same time

Lay down on a wooden cot stretching legs
...
