I’m alone..
Life surrounds me with joy
With much to savour and enjoy
But I’m alone!
Distant clouds roar with thunder
To trumpet their happiness and ever-rising wonder
But I’m alone!
The mountains roll in a greeny pack
With stories to tell and take us aback
‘This is heaven!’ they groan
But I’m alone !
The grasses brush my lengthy feet
Nodding their heads ‘Oh how sweet!’
But I stand here forlorn
Sad that I’m here alone !
Plant many of my brothers and sisters
With majestic lineup of dense clusters
So we can cry out loudly and proudly
That we are not anymore alone !

Awesome poem 🙂 Indeed we are alone if there ain’t much of plants and trees in years to come!

That was a great attempt, Venkat ji. I admire trees and love to see them closely. Both metaphorically and physically, this poem makes a lot of sense.
Joy always.

A beautiful one Venkat :). From the topic I thought it might take a personal front, but tuning that into trees and the social message in it is a beautiful composition indeed 🙂

Thanks Vinay. That poem just came out of me – without much thought – words just poured out.
