Come Sit Under The Banyan Tree
by Barry Clopton Lanier (Age: 52)
copyright 08-07-2004


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Come sit with me, uder the shade of the Banyan tree,
Perhaps we both shall glimpse a parcel of truth.
Our trek may lead toward nirvana,
Or dreams might carry us back to our youth.

As we meditate, hence contemplate,
We might awaken enlightened and rise to our feet.
Or by chance persevere, dream endless dreams,
Perhaps maybe die off in endless sleep.

Per chance, true reality might be waiting on us,
Our virtues finally rewarded, amid the dirge of night.
Might we have only one day of true freedom,
Finally giving up our endless fight.

This might be the glorious day that ends all darkness,
As we were blind, we finally awaken with sight.
And our descent, to the base of an old Banyan tree,
Finally leads us to wisdom, and a vision of being free.

Barry,
This is full of wisdom and imagery that just took this reader to a better place! Good wording, the flow was suble and even, just wonderful.
One correction: decent--> descent

Thoughtful, philosophical without being dull. These things are good. Good piece of work, Barry!
