Tree of life Painting by...
Painting by Mrs. Pandit...effects from Photoshop
Eternity
to my sons.
I am a leaf from the tree of life,
Crush not me between the pages of a book,
Pluck not me to trample underfoot,
Scatter not me to be forgotten tomorrow,
But....preserve the green of my dreams,
Cherish the yellow of my age,
And when I am brown and sere
Lie me to rest, content for I know
You are my yesterday, my today and tomorrow,
Time without space, eternity....

"Branching' ideas/series would be fantastic too - can you imagine, painted, cube like portraits of ones family/family tree, then done with this same effect - that would be a classic!!!!
Your poetry Shobha is incredible! Truly! Such beautiful meaningful wise words and always full of love, compassion, understanding. A lovely soul to 'be around' is how I sum you up, ha ha.
I must check out your link that you posted, to read more of your poems.
I too would like to get my hands on your book - but am willing to purchase - do you have it on ebay or some other such site to buy online?
Thanks for the beauty of your soul!
No Dee...my booki is not on Ebay ...but the copies are with my Publisher here in India...writer's workshop...http://www.writersworkshopindia.com/
