Lonely Desert Tree | Dr Anish Kumar Adya

Sometimes I feel like that lonely tree

Stranded in a dried up sea

With clouds of dust choking away

And mounts of sand,with the wind,that sway

The scorching sun relentless too

Gets to have a say

Pounding ruthless at my veins

Charring, within,to my dismay.

The darker nights

Offer some respite

Cold and distant they can be

And I spend moments

Counting the stars

Shivering,till the next days heat.

So scores of years have passed by me

Receiving, what is fate's decree

Wondering,if this is life

Hoping,for a better lie

However,it is the twilight tones

That make the day bearable

I wait for dusk and the morning hue

And let the sweet calm breeze imbue

And am filled with zest for a while...

For them countless colours and moments of bliss

I am grateful life,for your guile.
