Pilgrimage of a tree

An  unimaginable pilgrimage

Of a lonely tree -

A tree without roots .

Wonders never cease on earth

Not the ones that turn you 

Topsy-turvy and make you 

Stand up elegantly,head held high.

Cute little sapling,s roots were clipped

But then came the wonder -

Rain or shine,storm or snow ,

Tough things made the plant tougher  and tougher

And here you had a 

Strong benevolent tree stronger than rest of its clan.

Possibilities and practicalities 

Were shoved down the drain,

The majestic tree stood its ground 

Yearning in every tissue 

For the clipped roots

And hence began its Pilgrimage

In search of its roots.

Kingdom of the roots stood spellbound!

How can this happen? 

A tree without roots ?

And it has created an orchard too?

Old trees of the kingdom  

Danced in pure glee!

Hugged and kissed the son of the soil-

The strong and big rootless tree .

Gods of the kingdom of roots smiled 

And told the old trees the  secret of all secrets

"Indeed this is  a world of wonder no doubt 

But what ye behold before is no wonder,

The clipped roots had left behind it

Some soft wet soil as a mother root always leaves,

And this soft wetness was enough 

For any lone sapling to survive!

This moistness has the power

To turn a rootless tree to a dense forest,

It is in search of this moistness 

That this lonely tree has come after five decades!!!"
