Bonsai tree by the window

Beyond that windowpane
Life won’t cease
Behind these bars
We can still breathe
Is it the light? is it the air?
Or...is it the earth?
No walls nor barrier
against coalescence growth
Evanescent wind goes
From the day forth
Writing colours
On tree barks
and Skin bodies
Greening leaves
Photon’s particles
Traverse the universe
Growing life
Bringing the God’s spectacle
Unveiling night after night
To our amazed bright eyes
Wonders of light

Comments on photograph
“This picture was taken from my bed during the first year of COVID-19 pandemic. At the time I had decided to have a bonsai as company in the bedroom. Photographing is something I do occasionally, which brings me immense joy. Social Media Marketing lecturer Susan Sweeney requested in class exercise – students should pick one photo and describe it, telling a story, so I have chosen to attempt writing a piece of poem.”
