Forgotten Fragrance

Few feet away from the box window

Stands an old,knarled bayleaf tree

It grew and grew for years on end

Seeking sunshine---. food from soil

Mighty tall tree -- onlookers gazed

The tree branches sheltered birds

Hundreds of fragrant leaves sprouted

Cast shade of nature in concrete jungle

Some practical men mused"The leaves

are blocking the sun..Needs to be cut.."

Mercilessly many branches were hacked

The tree cried in silence looking up to sky

Two months have passed ... the tree smiles Smile

Orange,silky baby leaves have sprouted

On the hewn branches,,, hope never doubted

A leafing tree would

A leafing tree would certainly be a wonderful sight here; a sign of spring overtaking winter.

Of course that has nothing to do with your write - a resurgence of life, or perhaps it does in a roundabout way.  (A good write, Bishu, my friend.)
