The great palms

The great palms - Painting- oil on canvas- Mr. S. Chellaiah


The palms were rejected by houses

They took shelter in open grounds

They were not tamed as the neem

They were charming like hibiscus

They were tough, harsh, cold

Unforgiving, frustrated ugly

The dignified height brought

Pride to their eyes and tone

The rejection from society

Gave them milk of kindness

Frustration brewed into warmth

Loneliness mellowed into love

Broke out into services

Continued their standing

Looking down on the shallow

Life around them with smiles

The breeze petted and pampered

The sun shared jokes lightly

The Gods came down to visit

They lived and live midst the best.
