Overlooked Beauty
Overlooked beauty
At the backyard of my colony's lane
Crumbles an old banyan tree slowly on verge of getting waned
Not worthy of a second glance
An overlooked beauty as in forgotten time's trance
Pulchritude ignored by almost every passer-by
Sole witness of ever changing world since ages below heavenly skies
Must have given shade to countless travellers in scorching summers
Birds slept safe beneath it's glossy leaves in nights of frigid winters
Still shelter for woodpeckers drumming on it's stiff boughs
Wind passes whistling through it's strewn parched branches on an unending drowse
Last razors of golden sunlight fall on it before melting at distant hillocks
An illusion of spectre forms as aerial roots sway giving fear shocks
Woody trunks hiding in themselves tranquil million stories
An overlooked beauty with fading structure demonstrating old glories
