Metaphor of Inverted Tree

. Our Life......As An ...inverted......tree Asvatha it is called it is tree of life, Name implies: ‘Not Forever’ Inverted it is has its roots in the skies trunk below oh it seems topsy turvy our world; away from its source far away. shooting spreading alive-gross our desires branches off our Karmic fold work. duties deeds ..desires necessities routes Ordained in-ordained destinies Deja vu surprises I knew it why me ! Branches bifurcating swaying together outreaching Joys and Agonies All drawing from A common source .now on their own accord erect strong grown Bearing leaves flowers. fruits. inviting avians Inviting cats for a nap inspiring kids to climb Inverted Tree Metaphor Explaining Our Lives Animate...alive...drawing from source...yet forgetting at times. Was contained in a seed; Space;Time; Destiny pulled it down. Now earthly every season wearing a new appearance - Tree of Life Knowledge gathered are the leaves and flowers With seasons; some shed; some bear fruits The fruits are a result of our actions; Karma Karma are the fruits that the tree bears- only to drop Tree sheds the fruits, in renunciation In its own search for nature, aground The fruits contain seeds The seed beholding tree The distance is abridged As the tree regerminates In reality or in potentiality The separation- was never in distance never a measure was appearance our forgetfulness as we branch off only to complete the time journeys enacted in space In a play no birth; no death . Moksha- Is only a concept .
