Banyan Tree


 Now a days trees are being cut right, left and centre to pave the way for concrete jungles. Yet when I see this tree from the balcony of my house daily in the morning standing with all its grandeur in the park below, It sooths my soul. I have grown up watching this tree going from strength to strength.
 


 
Banyan tree, banyan tree
that century old banyan tree
standing grandeurly for us to see
banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
Cool breeze passing through
seeking blessings of banyan tree
branches shaking in approval
banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
Glassy green with majestic trunk
 touching the earth, not breaking free
shelter home for different birds
banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
Yellowish streaks, some with reddish tinge
welcome every season with a glee
symbol of eternal life
 banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
Shedding leaves, like tears falling
a grandfather lamenting on its knees
new plants cuddling around
banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
 
Lord  Buddha became its buddy
meditation was the only key
peace you get underneath
that is why it is banyan tree.
 
Banyan tree, banyan tree
wish fullfilling, it is banyan tree
just pray here and let you see
Banyan tree, banyan tree.
 
A life giver and just for free
Banyan is my national pride
 preserve these at any cost
don’t commit a homicide ?
 
 God blessed us with banyan tree
heat absorbing banyan tree
has healing powers this banyan tree
banyan tree, banyan tree.
