The trees and their hymn
teaches me the art of living;
How gracefully they
shed their leaves in autumn
and wear new ones in spring;
Watching them, I learn
to cast off old beliefs,
unlearn old habits
let go of toxic energy
and put on new ones~
clean energy
beliefs that uplift
habits that serve.
The trees and their hymn
teach me to sing songs
of autumn and spring;
Revel in the gifts that
each season of life brings.

Beautiful as usual Purba! Nature teaches us everyday, only we are poor learners
ReplyDeleteAnd another one...Nice...wonderful observations, beautifully penned
ReplyDeleteOnly a poet can listen to the hymns of a tree. They truly have so much to teach.
ReplyDeleteOnly if it was so easy to shed old beliefs like a tree sheds its leaves. Nice poetry:)
ReplyDeleteWell yes. You've learnt the right thing from the tree. Let's all of us learn the same.
ReplyDeleteNature is the best teacher and your poem showcases that !
ReplyDeleteSo true. Its essential we learn, unlearn and re-learn and no one teaches us this better than nature.
ReplyDeleteHow much we can learn from Mother Nature! Beautifully expressed, Purba!
