A house <br />beside a shady tree <br />and tarred road <br />heaped up stones <br />three poles and plastic roof <br />walled with torn sacks <br /> <br />A gaze <br />as if in trance <br />a gleam <br />in the eyes <br />a smile between parting lips <br />not at all at the far away mansions <br />the indweller <br /> <br />An ever- flowering tree <br />grew out of nowhere <br />a poet, a poem <br /> <br /> <br />(India, May 2007)<br /><br />Raveendran N.V.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poet-poem/
