Once upon a time
There was a tree
Deeply rooted in the earth
Its branches spreading wide
Thriving in the sunlight.
It provided shade and shelter to man and beast
Home to chirping birds and scampering squirrels
Its green leaves gently danced in the breeze.
Then shorn of its beauty and grace
It longed to be upright again
And feel the freshness of the rain.
No birds, no nests,
No little children
Climbing up in zest.
Beloved tree!
You were in pain
Felled were you for trade and gain.

ReplyDeleteHuman insensitivity is a dreadful thing. It's most visible in the way we treat the plants and trees.
