Flashbacks of children playing around him, butterflies hovering here and there, the sun shining brighter than ever, shimmering through few clouds, the life was flowing around him rejuvenating his presence strengthening his roots, making his posture erect against all the blowing winds, filling him with all the sense of achievement and success...
Someone who saw the glory of life and went through the cycle of life till today when he stands alone with a heavy hollow heart recalling all the life that has passed...
Today his leaves, his companions, his friends have left him, at last, to face the cold winter all by himself and that loneliness makes him look dreary and thirsty for the sight of sun again in the sky above, waiting eagerly just for another day of Spring season, his branches are tired desiring for abundance of rain, his roots are still strong though stem is no more solid inside... standing on the location of Suffolk, United Kingdom he has seen very good days but now sends a message to all the world revealing that how everything is temporary and nothing lasts forever but the hope never dies to see that wonderful life once more.
How time changes the friendships, the youth, the perspective of achievements, thus exposing the real philosophy of life... Nobody is yours but your own self, nothing is going to help but your own strength, nothing is supposed to defeat you but your own fears.
I am inspired by this old tree's story... are you???
