The tree standing tall
near the river bed,
but never ever got a drop
the yellow never turned red.
The wait was eternal
longer than life itself;
there came thousand springs
but soul couldn’t reveal the self.
The leaves were buried
the twigs swept away:
grayed leaves dying underneath
and the river slid silently away.
near the river bed,
but never ever got a drop
the yellow never turned red.
The wait was eternal
longer than life itself;
there came thousand springs
but soul couldn’t reveal the self.
The leaves were buried
the twigs swept away:
grayed leaves dying underneath
and the river slid silently away.

Tree signifies a lot in our life and many great poets have paralleled life with tree. Great thoughts, Amritbir Ji!
you are impressive in expressing your thoughts.......
"too near and too far" that you stressed upon by tree near the river, caries a universal appeal...
