Lakshya

New beginning

A sapling on a roadside

has seen days of drought

days of storm

has its roots plunged deep into the soil holding every bit of it. 

The sapling had grown into a wild unshakable tree

With trunk has hard as mountain

Tree that had become home to hopeless birds

Yet under a constant threat of cut down

Just because it simply does not belong  there or anywhere else                              left unguarded

just all alone

Oh my great lord , will the tree ever be protected and nourished with love?
