Trees rising high
Trying to pierce the sky
As they try to touch
The fluffy clouds

Flowers white dangle
With their faces down
Covering the tree top
With a snowy crown

A banyan tree regularly
Sends the roots down
As it spreads far and wide
And gains new ground

But best is the silence
As it blends with the sounds
Of the chattering birds
And the rustling leaves.
