Poetry: City Tree

City Tree

the city tree branches waved hello

sending their morning greetings

to walking souls by the pavement

loud gravels of bulldozers 

stridently replied 

of sandy sprinkles over the green leaves

of the tall Banyan tree

sweating men found shelter 

under its huge old limbs

from the tormenting rays 

of the awaken Sun

Tuesdays in the city

breathing the stressful air

or survival and money

perhaps it is only right to

stop

listen

inhale

and let go
