Bare, denuded but adorned earth
Black veins shoot out; heavenly
'Waiting for Godot', a bulbul
Leafless trunk; resort of the blessed

Nature is a reconciliation; eternally
Bright green ornaments adorn the trunk
Rubicund bloom, chariots of cheer
Bulbul, chirping, and dancing

An all embracing camaraderie
My soul transmutes and sings
Withered eyes experience grandeur
Bright shadows shine in the dark sea.
