LONESOME TREE


A lonesome tree, by  the desert plain


Left to the winds; in the wait for the rain


In dried up sorrow, and leafy tears


For better fortunes; hopes and fears


Violent gales, in a stormy weather


Hateful heat; at the verge to whither


Yet rooted to ground reality ; you silently hold on !


Nourished by life’s essence, that you have found


In Compassionate water; deep to the rocky ground!


With flexible shoots that, bend and heed


Perennial springs that, lovingly feed


And mighty roots gripping the grounded truth


No one can shake you !


Neither storms nor floods can change your course


No droughts can dry you up with remorse


Oh lonesome tree by the desert plain!

  
How mighty is your resilience!
