Grand old banyan tree

A majestic banyan tree standing tall and free, Ages old, witnessing my life's journey . In the lane's corner, its presence stays, Reminding me of trajectory of happiness and sorrows. I reminisce sitting by my bunglow's windowpane, Watching roots curled deep, like life's enduring strain. Birds nesting high, their songs so sweet, Leaves fluttering green, and children squealing with delight at your feet. Unfazed by storms or scorching sun's rays, You stand serene, teaching life's precious ways. Symbolic of eternity, benevolent and true, Your roots remind us of our origins anew. Mystic aura surrounding you ,spiritual feelings rise, In your shadow, life's lessons unfold before our eyes. A grand old banyan tree wise and strong and free, A testament to life's journey, for me.
