Division of Power

On a stormy December evening

Looking out through my bedroom window

My eye beheld an unusual sight

Something simple but so bright!

Two Mango trees holding roots

Supporting each other through the storm

Not an inch did they budge

Holding on! In the grove, so steadfast!

The Creepers bowed to the Great Wind

Accepting his power they did

Profound thoughts swirled in me

How different they coped but still they stood

In stark contrast, A fir tree stood with a haughty look

 Neither bending nor seeking support,

The Great wind blew harder still !

Testing, and winning as the fir tree fell

  1. After a long time I read through this poem, and many more that followed one after another that were left unread all these days because of the hectic lifestyle. The story on trees, it was really very well written, scenes were just following through my mind as I was reading it…Not exaggerating but all were super good and it was so refreshing for me personally…. Keep up the good work Sahana, expecting more from you …..
