ASPIRATIONS AND HOPE
Dry winter cold winds blow a tragic,
Leafless tree silhouette writes magic,
Emblem human saga prosperity wane,
Heart and mind are skeletal life insane, (1)
No greenery, flowers, fruits, or tree wear,
Lingering shadow at sunset raises fear,
Resemble a life without activity, well,
Assembles sorrows breathless derail, (2)
No bird is seen reluctant to its nest,
Flies to distant forests, finds the best,
No friends or foes, families rejected,
Like the labyrinth of branches rested, (3)
Absent the cool shade in a hot summer,
Cattle and cowherd man no more,
Poverty erases lustier glamour soon,
Stand today face icy wind, life mourns, (4)
Season changes, rain comes, visibly,
Wet earth fuels aroma leaf sensibly,
Branches turning gradually green,
Lifts the body from the ground, seen (5)
The graceful branches swing happily,
To write the tree died thinking, silly,
Disgraced, humiliated, a soul defiant,
Praise, peruse a personality radiant, (6)
Spring comes, blossoms on every branch,
Laden with fruit ripe at a time, it enchants,
Noble deeds, young life is admirable,
Needy look forward to help, are able, (7)
Icy weather and the bare fall branches,
Sunlight's golden rays are beautiful watches,
Frustration and rootless thought elope,
Matchless, exist aspirations and hope, (viii)
