Nobody Came

Amma, 
Yesterday the tree died. Many men came and cut it down and laid it on the road. 


They laid the body on the road. 
I went and said a few kind words. The tree had always been good to me. 
In fact it had been good to everyone but nobody came Ma. 

They took the tree's body away, I was not sure if they will burn it away or bury it. I wished it stayed longer with us. 

What happens to trees that die Ma?

(Amma, Ma are synonymous with mother)

Susan Ashley Date: 3/10/2021 10:18:00 AM Dear Sunil, the poignant beauty of your poem takes my breath away. So many emotions course through me all at once as I experience my reaction to reading this deeply moving piece. To me, your aching poem symbolizes man's heartless disregard for Nature and the loss of Nature's witness to humanity's downward spiral. A must fav for sure. Thank you, it is with admiration that I read you! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
