Summer has set in
Sun burns overhead
Shooting fire from sky
Deep line of cracks
Visible on earth’s body
Small grasses dry
Flowers hide
I am dying for a patch of shade.
I have left
That shadow of banyan tree
Far behind
My feet get tired
Refuse to go ahead
Just when I was falling
I found the bayan tree coming near me
Its green branches
Waving coolness.
I opened my eyes
And saw my dear bayan tree
Standing near me
Then I fell asleep in peace.
