When you pluck a flower, the tree remains silent
When you remove a leaf, it reposes to relent
When you climb over, it shields
...
The Sun shines as gold, down the west
Full moon is on the move, to rise in the east
Birds are settling, into the nest
Courteous caress of the breeze, is the best!
...
It was an elated evening
Full of excitement and emotions filled,
when my flight was landing
Welcoming climate was pleasant but grew chilled
...
When I lifted my cup of tea
A drop fell on you, without any idea
...
To tread over the moon, to Armstrong, had anyone taught?
To scale Mt. Everest, had anyone led Tenzing, with hand caught?
...
Glittering was the evening Sun's face
Glided down unto the level of my surface
...
When I gaze at you, you seemed to be far away
I never imagined, the love may slide my way!
Initially so much was spoken by our ‘eyes'
...
The whole path to home was filled with incense
It has indulged my every sense
It has hit my senses to rose
...
Your neighbor can’t vend
Nor your family can lend
Your loved one can’t donate
...
Follow the flight of a sparrow
Shall skip, with peg as arrow
Jumps from branch to branch
...
Stork flights in unison
To teach unity to every person
Holding the neck extended
...
The mother struggles to deliver baby
Does everything for the child, being at nearby
She renounces her sleep
...
Few mangoes have big seed, making the pulp area little
Like few men who lead a life belittle!
Few mangoes have small seed, making the pulp area large
...
BY V.MUTHU MANICKAM
He came to serve and not to be served
But billions of people stand to serve Him
...
All windows of my home are having the mosquito net
Though the mosquito menace will be bearable
More mosquitoes throng outside when daylight is set
Mosquitoes thronging in night will not be considerable
...
It was a cloudy sky
Drizzle had just stopped softly
On this enchanting evening, I was lined lucky
As there was an ugly beggar who deserved care, swiftly
...
By protecting you against every odd
By defending, even when you wrongly stood
By keeping you an ‘ever innocent squad'
By propagating that everyone is good
...
On just seeing your face
I felt emotions of a new race
Into your eyes, I just stared
...
You spoil the air by burning fossil fuel
By absorbing odors, trees help to level
You inhale fresh air

Learn From A Tree!
When you pluck a flower, the tree remains silent
When you remove a leaf, it reposes to relent
When you climb over, it shields
When you sever a branch, it yields
When you harvest the fruits, it doesn’t demur
When you cut a portion, it doesn’t murmur
When you replant, it don’t quit
When you cut the whole tree, it is quiet
For the tree treats you, as its’ master!
So your needs, happily it does cater! !
By silence, it symbolizes surrender
It silently shows a noble order
The tree, to its’ master, contently admit
Like the tree, to your Master, learn to solemnly submit!
