Standing tall my neem
however hot the earth scream
it’s cool under your shadow
a unique layer of tree
blows a kind of wind
soothing the body and mind.
You grew up breaking the walls
bordered with neighbors
to show up unity is strength,
though we take care not
you support unconditionally
purifying environs n provide shadow.
You send nostalgic feel
through your cool breeze
triggering the lost sense or memories
of moments that never return,
glad I borrow you from the neighbour
and what u bestow is unparalleled.
P.s Was having some problem in getting constant net
connection for last few days and I have complained and waiting for them to
resolve. Until then pls bear
The picture has the neighbor's Neem tree outgrown into our courtyard. The neem tree cracked down a part of the wall and it was rebuilt leaving space for neem.
Lovely to see nature and man in harmony.

I also like the shade of neighborhood trees. But planting and maintining it myself will be slightly difficult ;)

Great shot of harmony of nature and people.
ReplyDeleteThat neem tree must be an important tree! Good to know that neighbours do not fight over the tree and the broken wall.
ReplyDeleteNeem tree is beautiful with small leaves. It is good that you have it. The breeze is good for health!
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful picture and poem to match it. As if to say, there's no need to put a fence here, we are not divided. Well done.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week!
