The Lonely Tree...

When I Was Walking Down The Lonely Road...

Who is ever going to think that a lonely tree can teach us so many things in life? So many examples in life? and so many ways to get the best out of life? I believe that anyone who looks at a lonely tree with an open heart with confidence to reach the best out of life will always see the hidden meaning of the lonely tree that cries in dark to see the light with no fear but courage to live the life with self-motivation in and on the leafs that helps the lonely tree survive when no one else will never come to help it to live the life. I think no one ever took time to notice but…

One day I was feeling lonely with no one left to speak, look after and care my feelings. I wanted to walk out under the dark lonely sky along a path that led by a white line, with freezing wind touching my skin remembering all the sweet memories I ever had with her, crying out loud for the terrible mistakes I have done weeks back, knowing that I cannot go back to the past and change everything that happened in my life.

Buildings, Light posts, Walls, seats and steps passed by without giving a shit to my feelings just like she went passed by. But there was one tree which stud in front of me speaking to me about its life, comparing my life to its life. The only difference between us was, that I have had someone in my life after my birth to care me and look after and the lonely tree haven’t had anyone since then. It told me how to survive in the dark freezing nights, how to battle the life with no fear when dangerous storms come from nowhere and how to self-motivate after every rough time in life. Which remembered me of Abraham Lincoln the greatest leader of all time telling the world from his own words that “Chapter is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree I the real thing.”

As the heavy wind the tree was bending with the wind towards the blowing direction. I watched hours and hours, the wind taking some of its leaves while the tree cried in pain, but it never fell down never gave up its real purpose of being exited. I see some people commit suicide like they never ever existed, leaving the world nothing but pain to the loved once, and also I have seen people who leave the world by time by doing something to the world like they always existed before and after their death. I never knew how old the tree was but it taught me how the life work, it gave me purpose to my life, it motivated my life, it just gave a purpose to my feature and it made me feel like I ever existed. It showed me that I must, we all must do something to the world. Who says a Tree Is just a tree? We must wake up from the life we live and start to think in a different way, so that one day a lonely tree will tap to your heart and say, Hay man you are never late to do the right thing and no matter you can’t go back to past but you can make the feature a successful bright one.
