66. ARE YOU READY TO FULFILL THE TREE’S LAST WISH ?

 

You unsparingly spat leftovers of your food on its innocent body---yet

the same tree granted you the most tranquil contentment under its

branches; as the afternoon glare fiercely torched even the last bone

of your creaking spine,

 

You ruthlessly plucked a plentiful of its leaf without any reason or

rhyme---yet the same tree enamored you with boundless an untold story;

as you slumped your entire weight in tiredness; across its majestic

trunk,

 

You barbarously scratched it to express frustration for your penurious

life--- yet the same tree healed even the most inexplicably bleeding

of your wounds; as you perched in its magical shadow which radiated

immortal love,

 

You inhumanely dug a countless nails into its body to hang your

belongings--- yet the same tree stood like an infallible fortress

between you and the storm; perpetuating nothing but rejuvenating

friendship into every pore of your frigidly shivering skin,

 

You insidiously drilled a hole through it to keep sight of your

enemy---- yet the same tree transformed each of its tears into

blessings just for you; to give you new direction and fortitude to

righteously pursue chapters of a truthful life,

 

You venomously reduced it into a practice punching bag as you pummeled

its form with your daily morning kicks and blows--- yet the same tree

imparted supreme enlightenment to your waveringly beleaguered vision;

with its entrenchment of vivacious green,

 

You insanely emptied all brutal lead in your gun into its unflinching

body as it served as the best target range---- yet the same tree

provided royal shelter in its top branches to your trembling form; as

you hurriedly scampered up to escape the satanic wolves,

 

You cannibalistically slit its throat an umpteen times to crackle up

your night with that quintessential firewood---yet the same tree

img1.pngwelcomed you with the most everlasting embrace of its swishing arms

and leaf; as every of your beguilingly merciless kin had deserted you

to die of solitude,

 

You vindictively defecated; vomited; urinated at its stem; to show you

give a damn—yet the same tree blessed and showered you with a festoon

of feathers; leaves; raindrops and goodness; with every single draught

of gusty wind; and made you feel like an ultimate prince,

You diabolically whipped it with your waist-belt and walking stick to

release the volcanic energy of your numb shoulder and palm---yet the

same tree befriended you with kisses of love; as you clung to it like

a child when the devastating earthquake struck,

 

You hurled on it every abuse you'd learnt in the process of your life

as you knew it hadn't the power to retaliate---yet the same tree gave

you the ultimate pillow to sleep on every night in its compassionately

protruding roots; when the hole in your tattered pockets grew larger

by the minute,

 

You indiscriminately butchered its body many a time to get rid of

unkempt weeds that loitered your spurious courtyard---yet the same

tree blossomed once again in due course of time taking its strength

from mother earth; only to bless you with that everlasting shade; cool

and mid-summer siesta,

 

You ominously inscribed many an enthusing shape on its body with your

knife only to woo your girlfriend to profess---yet the same tree saw

to it that your friendship immortalized into the truest of love;

courtesy its now gruesomely bleeding countenance split into livid

rags,

 

You tyrannically subjected it to all kinds of electricity; just to

assert how ingeniously you'd proved that it too had life---yet the

same tree gave you a roof for your house when it'd blown away;

chivalrously gave you its fruit to eat when your bowels were on the

verge of spewing famished blood,

img1.png

You belligerently stripped it of all its flower every morning to

empower your flower shop with its lifeless roots and scent---yet the

same tree gave you that much missing whistle in your monotonous

existence; tantalizing you to fantasize about all goodness on this

fathomless planet,

 

You sadistically burnt every bit of its charm on the spurious pretext

that ghosts were stuck to it---yet the same tree once again evolved

into a kingly assortment of flowers; leaves and silken branch; to

comfort you in your bizarre sadness and prove that it was nothing but

nature's ultimate gift to all mankind,

 

You greedily snatched its newborn tendrils each day to farcically

brush the already shines whites of your teeth--- yet the same tree

bore the brunt of every heinous sword; stone and bomb on its naked

body; singlehandedly wading off the fanatic mob; invincibly guarding

you as you snored,

You unthinkably let countless of it felled down to read your books on

lavish paper instead of switching over to e-books--- yet the same tree

continued to enlighten your nostrils with its scent of a united earth;

as you fancily flipped through your novel pages extracted from its

pristine bark,

 

And even as you were about to criminally extricate it from its very

roots to make way for your new dwelling----the tree only asked you to

fulfill its final wish---that was to plant it at some place else;

where it'd once again catch root by the grace of God - continue to

bless you with unsurpassable cisterns of luck; happiness; contentment;

fantasy; shade and charm as it blossomed up towards blue sky,

 

So are you ready to forgive it as it had also forgiven you a countless

times; Are you ready to fulfill the Tree's one last wish ?
