—————Dr Sudipto Chatterjee
Come, let’s stand near the tree.
And begin the photosynthesis
In decrepitude and death.
While walking such a long way
Scarred by blood, fight, weapons and crime
Come, let’s stand again near the tree
Shift your eyes from the meditation to flower.
Let your accumulated tears freeze
To be the bark of a tree
And that will be your armour.
Now build up the image of Sujata, Shrimati.
Come, we become tree in our perceptions.
After the most primitive war
Let me touch you
O my Tree, my God.
