Poem

In a ever expanding vast ,
dense,dark ,wild forest,
crooked ,cracked,bent trees,
which provide shade ,bearing
fruits venomous ,with
roots rotten deep down
and spreading to its offshoots.
In the midst ,lies a sandalwood,
spreading enchanting fragrance
without acknowledging its inner
essence and withering away
for those ugly,huge trees.
Every tree,offshoot and grass
boasted about their greatness,
wallowing in their super ego
mocking,inflicting pain
on the sandalwood tree.
Stood in silence,bearing all the
grime of others small and big.
One day ,forest caught fire,
caused by three big trees
and the sandalwood shielded
them,by burning itself....
when it needed to heal,
crooked trees scald it deep,
making it think ,its bitter and bad.
Has the sandalwood really become
bitter ,or is it spreading the
ever soothing ,calming fragrance
through the forest through wildfires
while burning to ashes.

PS:This is poem is heavily influenced by a story from ‘UPANISHAD’ with little tweaks  from my side.The UPANISHAD story talks about the great virtue sandalwood tree i.e about the wise souls
who benefit mankind through their presence and also their absence.
Hope i did justice to the story.
