Introduction to Imtiaz Dharker's Poetry
I speak for the trees that bend in the wind,
Whispering secrets of the earth,
Their roots deep in stories untold,
Leaves shimmering with history,
Their branches reaching for the sky,
Hoping for a future bright.
The sun filters through the canopy,
Casting dappled shadows on the ground,
A dance of light and dark,
Reminding us of change,
Of growth, and of resilience.
In quiet strength, they stand tall,
Guardians of time, keepers of life,
Their silent voices echo,
In the breath of the breeze,
A reminder that nature’s voice is ours to hear.
