An Old Banyan Tree

An old banyan tree is lying beside the lake
And in the corner of the street, intoning
It is difficult to guess how old it is!
Because of its young maple leaves
As if tenderly inclined to the stem
For greater safety to survive on roots.
The leaves fell in the shade of the water
Nothing is contained on the calyx.
The flower is lively, dog-ark, and deep
To attain the new hopes of life in the shake
Visitation condoles the pain.
 To relieve from the scorching heat of the sun
 Glittering and dancing on the waves of water
Melting the ice from the fallen meadow.
The butterfly and the Tse join together
To share the sufferings from the foes\
The woodcutter and the parrots make holes to live
On the nest to build inside the leaning bay.
The old tree doesn't know how to cry
Or to assuage the pains that have stirred most.
The pecker finds nest and pries into to catch
The rats to capsize the hay
Everlasting growth inside the bark of the tree.
