The Tree
Krisu Kshetry
I kept fasting
while I was in contemplation
under the tree
The tree
kept on talking
humming melodious tune
in my words
When I was fainting from hunger
the tree gave me fruit
emptying itself
When I was burning
under the parching sun,
the tree gave me cool shade
erecting itself
While I was shivering in winter
the tree gave me warmth
baring itself
I followed God for long
but in the invisible form
God was standing in the form of tree
in front of me. The poet is a Nepalese diplomat stationed at Dhaka.
