Tree Of Dreams! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Tree Of Dreams!

Rating: 5.0


Its so painful
To see the seed of dreams you sowed
Drained away to nil today.

The seed of dreams sprouted into new hopes
There stood the tree with full hopes of leaves green
Cherishing the flowers of yellow
Waited long, for its fruits to relish.

But all of a sudden
All its leaves shed one by one
All its flowers shattered down
By the whirl of wind
That shook the tree of dreams.

The tree was full of green
Which stood withstanding heat and cold
All day long
Giving the shade of love
Whoever took shelter of the tree.
Decades together
The tree stood upright.

Today everything got
Withered away leaving only branches behind.
Today it can give no shade
It can give no flowers nor any fruits.
It just stood helpless gazing at the wind.
Though the tree was alive it just stood lifeless.
Just waiting for the roots to get dried away.
With everything going to finish in the whirl of storms.

Every tree was a sapling once and still earlier a seed! The tree of dreams can have re surging future as when we dream we do not have any barriers. The tree here is watered with elixir and is fenced by eternity of the kind.

.......the tree might be dead, but your imagination can bring it back to life........... .........a deep write with a lovely message...... .........Life is empty and purposeless, without having dreams to fulfill....... Do read my poems if u get time..........
