The Frangipani Tree

Jayasree

On a small hill,

silhouetted against the night sky,

stands a lone frangipani tree.

Its branches weighed down

with buds, ready to bloom!

As the crescent moon rises

in the horizon,

and the silver moonlight touches

the waiting buds,

they bloom

their yellow-white petals 

softly unfurling

spreading intoxicating

fragrance all around

the still night air.

The flowers fully bloomed

luminescent and exotic,

glow like lit lamps

on the lone tree

silhouetted against the night sky!
