    Existing and wandering,
    Here and there, alone;
    No one to talk to
    While mind moaned.
    I travel and travel
    In the subtle rain in sunset,
    Until I came across 
    A delusional set.
    Lied there,
    A tree and three loos.
    Two destroyed and one remained.
    I sat on the loo,
    With regret and pain.
    Until the tree spoke 
    With a soothing,
    Comforting voice.
    “Sleep doesn’t help
    My tired soul.
    Leaves keeps
    Falling and falling and falling,
    With no roots in confinement

    As me the janitor,

    I clear and clear.

    No hands to help me,

    No ears to listen to me,

    No soul to support me.”

    Smiled the tree

    With gentleness,

    And whispering,

    “Yet here you still are,

    That is what makes YOU a MAN!”
