Leaf 3 - Peepal Leaves Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Leaf 3 - Peepal Leaves
The leaves of Peepal - a protection,
To its stem - like an umbrella,
To its roots - a gentle covering,
To grow and strengthen,
To become an exemplary creation!
Delicate leaves tender and soft,
Dancing to the tune of the wind,
Dainty, heart-shaped leaves,
Dipping, tapering into a slender tail -
Dynamic tail of wisdom!
Humming leaves that sing a song
Heaving with the sensitive breeze;
Hailing the Vedic hymns of the
Highest truth,
Heralding the glory of God!
Beautiful leaves branching into a huge canopy,
Bowing down with humility,
Beaming leaves that sprinkle joy,
Bubbly and joyful,
Beckoning Peepal Leaves!
Beautiful poem. With its religious significance a peepal tree is revered so much. Nice drop.
Delicate leaves tender and soft, Dancing to the tune of the wind, Dainty, heart-shaped leaves, Dipping, tapering into a slender tail -........................ So true to reality! I have a Peepal tree close to my house. From my kitchen, I get a neat view of it. It is so beautiful to see its lush green leaves fluttering in the breeze and it is a welcoming sight to start each fresh day! You have described the leaves in all their beauty!
