The Silent Story of Love and Loss

This poem reflects on the journey of a tree that once flourished with life, offering shade, joy, and beauty to all who encountered it. From being a source of love and shelter for birds and passerby, the tree now lies broken and lifeless, reminding us of the fleeting nature of existence and the silent contributions of nature to our lives.

A BROKEN TREE

Once with flowers,
Blooming and shining,
Spreading fragrance,
and love
to someone passing by.

Once an abode,
of millions of birds.
Chattering and playing,
swinging and dancing,
and joy everywhere.

Once a shade,
for anyone and everyone,
spreading the love for ages,
without any goal
to get something
in return.

Once writing a story
of flowers and birds,
their joy their love.
Watching people
covering milestones,
feeling ecstatic and relieved.

Once spreading life
is lifeless today
With no birds,
no flowers,
no fragrance,
Just a body.
Lying on the ground.
And soon.
It will become a history.
