TREE AND RIVER
There is a tree near the river, Standing tall and high, A quiet witness to it allβ Seen everything, heard everything. Seasons come, seasons go, Lives bloom, perish, and flow, But the tree stands still, Unmoved, untouched by time. In spring, it bloomed, In autumn, leaves left their home, In winter, it froze, Like the river next by. In summer, the river flowed again, Travelling from place to place, Sharing tales with the tree. The tree hears in silence, Standing lifeless, yet wise, As the world changes, Old gives way to new, But the tree remainsβ Unchanged, alone, A quiet witness to it all.
