A Lime Tree

A Lime Tree

Lizards live there on the roof of a thatched hut, 
waiting for a delicious dinner of flies around.
Simpletons smirk around the noisy bustle of a suburb;
Masking the riches,
 the bluestone shines on his middle finger.
Muses moon around his blinking spills of love.

A lime tree dances with the whirlwind.
It is a solo dance in communion with the sizzling leaves.
The Orchestra of the universe dwarfs the foils of the sorrowful vegabonds.
Bullied by a few cockroaches, 
a few ants look for sugary syrup occasionally.
"Trust the flow of the snow!", a toothless lady mutters.

Buddha stays in silence.
Everything is in disarray;
The mood of Monalisa strangulates a vegabond's lullaby.
The Child of Innocence is born again,
to stay put with the noisy multitudes.
