Leave me Free

Leave me like the tree in the wild,
Free To expand with
the fingers of the Sun..

Me drink from the clouds,
Don’t struggle to water me…

Don’t prune my branches
To Fit snugly into your mind’s Eye-
I am no potted shoot in your garden..

Don’t shoo the birds
Or break their nests..
They rob me,never,  of my space
In earth, the Air or the Sky..
They fill my Soul with their
Musical chirp…

Leave me like the tree in wild
Free to expand.

Ye command me not
With an eye on my fruits

You shall wait till
I offer them ripe

Leave me Free
For when I am done
I am still yours

Leave me Free
And Rest in my Shade..

I am rooted in you,
My roots hold me to you
And you to me..

Fear Not for Winds
that might blow me down
Or lightning strike my soul..

Leave me free

And rest in my shade.

-Sang.

This poem expresses a cry for freedom in a relationship, and identified with that of a tree..

In this poem ‘ Leave me Free’

The tree symbolizes a householder tied down by the fears ( wind, lightning), fancies (pruned to look good),
care (watering), possessiveness (shoos birds,breaks nests) etc. of his partner.

He tries to exchange freedom with his fruits (earnings), clouds (social network),
Shade (security) still yours (insurance).

He argues that the grant of freedom strengthens their relationship (roots and shoots).
