The tree
tall and wide
with thick canopies
with so much of life and music
The tree
with thick branches
with thick green leaves ..
with nests and birds of various flocks
with so much life and music
The tree
with thick shadows
with cool underneath
with the travellors and children
playing and resting underneath
with so much life and music
The tree
swaying and singing
safe haven for little birds and insects
a whole eco system of innumerable species
with so much life and music.
The cyclone
with brutal force and might
destroying everything in their sight
devastating homes and trees and transformers
The tree
with its limbs/branches broken off
the cracking of branches and
with nests flown away and birds as refugees
the life and music transforming to an eerie silence.
Months pass by
Small shoots from the half broken branches
Rising and twisting up..
with the birds once again flocking to the tree
with life and music again..
The Thane cyclone in South India was a major destroyer of age old trees. But month later most of the trees had a rebirth bringing back the life and music which once surrounded them.
