The Resonance

1
Deaf and frantic fire
Devours his paradise
Tiresome rain and
Mightiest wind
Tease his faithful twigs.

Pecks and cuts
Breaks and strokes
Undeterred by summer or fall
Courteous tree trusts all
Spreads shade and shelter
Sings soulful chorus along
Melodic sounds of nature.
2
North star changes not
Place ,motion nor plan
Rather makes others turn
The mariner and constellation.

Clouds though paint the sky With multilayered pain,
It waits the rain to pass
And glitters again. 3

In quick retreat of typhoon
Wild grass smiles at the passerby,
Stillness budges and life sprouts
Silence lets the trumpet play,

Summer embarks upon
Gulmohar petals
I run on my plastered leg
To paint colours on butterfly.
