Trees
blending nature & imagination <3
Oh, like those tangled branches of a tree,
out of chaos; there evolves a revere.
Trees!
Wonder of thousands of traditions,
witness of splendid people,
companion of different histories.
Shelter of numerous runners,
home of flowers full of colors.
I remember
tree as a friend, who grew up with me.
Its changing shapes and beautiful petals
make me realize the changing state of the world and its creatures.
Beautiful memories and moments of loved ones in our lives,
the tangled branches show the horrible aspects of our lives.
The changing seasons with changing inhabitants;
but it remains firm in my memory and its place!
Its scattered leaves tell me the scattered emotions;
the shattered hearts with confused glazes..
For a second everything freezes;
then it starts to move again,
just like a tree
blooms,
withers,
falls,
scatters,
and fades away to come again..
Oh, I see humans as trees!
Oh, I see humans as trees!
