Yellow Tree

There is a yellow tree near the selaiyur gate. Like a painting adorned and stood proudly among all the remaining green trees. It danced to the rhythm of the breeze and made soft sounds expressing its happiness.

The bright yellow shades were the flowers that bloomed and covered the entire tree. The petals covered the paths as if a carpet of flowers was laid especially for me. While walking through the path petals fell on me like showers of blessing for a bright new day.

Sometimes the yellow tree looks lonely as its families are all scattered in different parts of the vast campus. Since they are far from each other won't they feel lonely at times.

The rays of sunlight falling on the yellow tree highlights the colour giving a bright glittering texture. Sometimes a part of the tree brightens, but other times it glitters altogether.

I wonder if the yellow tree could talk what could be its first words? Will it welcome me like the inanimate objects in "The beauty and the beast"? During the day when the path is empty what does it do to pass time? How fast or slow would time be for the yellow tree? Will the yellow tree gossip with the neighbouring trees during its spare time?

If all these were possible it would be so dramatic. Despite knowing its impossibility it does not hurt to imagine the activities the yellow tree does since it is rooted to one place.
