STANDING ALONE














There it is standing, looking lonely yet imposing

From one perspective, it appears majestic
Getting all the private space it needs
No competition but only shrubs at its mercy

From another perspective, it looks depressing
Left all alone by its self, devoid of friends and relatives
No one to talk to or share laughter and joy
As if abandoned by all other trees of its kind

But who could tell this big Baobab’s point of view
I wish, I were a tree to ask this big sister how it feels
To be left alone on a wide landscape like this
I can l only imagine what it meant to her.
