ADDRESS

 ADDRESS

A miracle happens before eyes clear,

Unable to perceive experience later,

Fascinates the changing world, sad,

Nothing is permanent look forward, (1)

 

Amassed property sequestered stay,

Changes hand surprising short joy,

Who owns today, not owner impact,

Living, famous, prosperous, intact, (2)

 

Know neighborhood city state well,

Address of the person's home detail,

A huge banyan tree stood tall,

Collapsed a famous name story roll, (3)

 

They changed their places divided,

The rock mansion crumpled and faded,

Banyan trees many found root sad,

Picture of a changing world inward, (4)

 

Seeds in side fruits the tree laden,

Place designated fruit place garden,

Today not ripe, but tomorrow ripen,

Seed travels far-off germinate open, (5)

 

Places change cocoanut cross ocean,

Islands are covered, motions lesson,

Lagoon marshy land bird's nest stay,

Dried-up parched land birds fly away, (6)

 

Changes their nest to different places,

Youth travels overseas luck graces,

Prosperous life, they settle happily,

A permanent address erased sadly, (7)

 

Wonderstruck, look around, stunned,

Impermanent place transient learned,

Stood before my house nameplate,

A day comes in life be written late, (viii)

 

Quit from the world few got famous,

Address mere mention not curious,

Letters returned as address wrong,

Temporal stays life melancholy  song, (9)

 

Address misnomer home unknown,

Soul quits someday scantly mourn,

Miracle is the attachment mystery,

The soul enters into the world, the story, (10)

 

Notion its place details references,

Admit not illusory home preferences,

Address permanent place in space,

Body with fire water soil home trace. (11)
