Glimpses of a Tree’s Mind: A Poem on Nature and Preservation

I have always loved trees, and I believe everyone feels a connection to their beauty and importance. My professor, who adores living in places surrounded by nature, often shares how trees bring peace and balance to life. Inspired by this, I decided to write a poem when I witnessed the heartbreaking sight of trees being cut down alongside the road to make it wider. It made me realise a profound truth—if we can’t contribute to growing trees, we have no right to destroy them. Through my poem, I hope to shed light on the vital role trees play and encourage everyone to protect them for a better future.

Glimpses of Tree's Mind

It was a time when I was valued,

In life, death, and religion,

I was a giver every moment,

In medicine, shade, fruits, and flowers.

Everything has two sides,

Virtues and vices.

But I have only one –

The side of goodness, unending.

Oh, God, bless me still!

I can give life on this earth,

Yet they don’t want me to live.

Grant them some wisdom, I pray.

Why do you underestimate me?

Can't you see your own lifeline?

If I can think for your survival,

Why can't you think for mine?

You are busy expanding your empire,

Cutting away your own breath.

Now, I live only in papers and slogans,

And my future seems bleak.

If you wish for a better life,

Adopt me as your child.

Nourish me as your own

And let’s live together.
