The tree
Stood on
A silent sentinel through time
Watching yet silent
Feeling yet unaware
Conscious yet dumb
Sheltering protecting
A mute companion
Inspiring goading
All was still…engulfed in darkenss
Ten feet away
The street was full
Bikes, cars, scooters and rickshaws
Pedestrians, beggars, urchins and hawkers
Life moved on
Yet all was still
Tick tick tick time moved on
Yet the moment was still.
Hearts beat faster
Tongues darted
Fingers clasped
The tree bore the weight
Still all was still
