Love Tree (A Comment On Perdita Young's Poem If Love Be A Plant)

Rating: 5.0


I think love is a dense tree,
it has roots and trunk,
it has branches and leaves,
it has flowers and fruits.
Life beneath a love tree is safe
from the burning sun,
below a moon and bright stars
when pleasant winds make it dancing,
love tree starts singing,
listen to the music of this tree,
at least once in a full moon lit night
sleep under a love tree,
and dream what you never dream
No need of describing the details of the dream,
I know I am a regular dreamer.
I dream and dream every night
someone comes on the earth
from the skies.
A fairy or a star I don't know
but it whispers in my ears,
"Your life has been increased for another lovely day."

Thank you so much, Akhtar, for the excellent poem as a comment. I wish to have found and read it earlier than today... Too much occupied on Mondays and Tuesdays and Thursdays and Fridays. Greetings from afar. Perdita
