The Majestic Mango Tree ..

The Mango Tree ..

He stands majestically outside my balcony ..
Tall ... dark green leaves ..
spreading his arms ..
holding bunches of mangoes ..

There is a creeper ..
Creeping around his long arms ..

As if finding a meaning to
its own existence ..

There are some grass ..
some small weeds ..
that are growing at the
roots of the mango tree ..

Those small ones are ..
as if scared of something ..
taking shelter under this
majestic mango tree ..

A bunch of birds ..
chirp around this mango tree ..
As if they are narrating stories ..
from their flight to a far away land ..

The birds the worms ..
eat the mangoes to their heart ..
Enjoy it relish it ..
Sing and dance around him

All of them survive
because the mango tree exists
Or is the Mango tree surviving
because he has so many friends ..

Is the subsistence of the
Mango tree for all of them
Is he majestic or they
make him majestic ..

How long will he stand like this
spreading his arms protecting everyone ..
How long will he give fruits ..
Making everyone happy ..

How long will his endurance last ?

What would happen ..
the day he is tired ..
the day he says he wants to sit ..
The day he wants to put his hands down ..

Will they all be still there ..
Will they all still make him the majestic mango tree??
