Silent Birth

--Ruskin Bond

When the earth gave birth to this tree,

there came no sound:

A green shoot thrust

In silence from the ground.

Our births dont come so quiet-

Most lives run riot-

But the bud opens silently,

And flower gives way to fruit.

So must we serach

For the stillness within the tree,

The silence within the roots.
