The tree and the wind

As the wind blows
I spread my arms,
I sway in joy,
And ecstatic freedom.

With roots embedded,
In great mother earth,
Unbridled, I dance,
To the music of god.

The leaves they flutter,
My branches swirl,
Not holding on,
Like a dancing girl.

It may be breeze
Or a violent storm
I do not fear
That I might fall

For fall I may
Uprooted to ground
As a sad remnant
Of erstwhile splendor?

Yet sway in Joy
And ecstatic freedom
I know not death
But only Life!!
