RAVEN TREE
The grand oak tree with a squat body
and huge horizontal arms
extended the whole area.
Surrounded with stone steps
and seats above them
was a delight to the
old and young alike.
In the jubilant faces
of the young and the
serenity of the old,
I saw joy and happiness
throughout evenings.
Too busy to see the
beauty of nature
during the day,
Admiring the beauty
in the evening,
has become a habit
for the people.
Many were attracted
by the sun's golden glow.
I sat there until dark,
The myriad of stars and galaxies
looked down on me.
A pair of ravens
had fixed their residence
on the oak tree,
and the tree was named 'Raven Tree.'
In the distance, the waters
of the river churn fiercely.
The tranquillity of the place
was occasionally broken
by the faint rumble of thunder.
I bade good-bye to the raven tree.
The ravens were still staring at me.
Soothed and refreshed,
I walked down the winding
country road through the dark.
