This is a real scene which my brother's friend already experienced.So he has described the loving scene to me so that I could write a poem for him.
This is dedicated to you brother....

Man Under A Tree

In a beautiful coconut estate
Greenish paddies on one side
Squirrels running here and there
Birds’ sweet melodies touched his heart
With a great surge of rhythm
A man like my brother sitting under a willow tree.
Looking at the fabulous lake
Gave him a great vision of nature to sooth his mind
Fish who are living in the lake
Tried to talk with him
To become his true friends
So that they can share his loneliness and grievances.
Cool breezes spread out and gave pure jasmine scent
To heal his stressful mind…
Poor weather turned fair
Threatening nature changed to delightful
He had fallen in love with the scenic beauty of nature
He witnessed everything with his own eyes
Nature cured his mental stress
And flushed out all the grief from his mind
Nature reassured him and is always with him…
The man under the tree was revived
What a magical day it was!

(Tribute to Mr.Buddhika De Silva)

It is difficult to relate another's story. But there is obviously a very strong bond that holds you two together - and enables you to tell your brother's tale with such conviction and honesty. This is much more than just a descriptive piece, it has spiritual depth and wisdom aplenty wrapped up in its lines. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
