The big banyan tree

Planets aligned 
So have the stars
Atom to infinite 
Path has begun 

Heaving chest
Has but one answer 
Who started this
Whom it's become 

Shaking hand 
Holds the strength
To break open 
To breathe, to grow 

Not a park anymore 
Walk in the forest 
Uncertain end 
Unexpected turns 

Peering light
Shines inside 
The only voice
Heard and followed 

I have arrived
I have become
I am the person
I was meant to be 

The big banyan tree
The tusker elephant 
Giant and gentle 
Strong and bold 

Weight still grows
Shoulders broaden 
Nourished by earth
Looked after by stars
