The new moon brought
my young and bearded Landlord
knocking at my door, asking
for assistance to plant
a tree in the garden.
The tree planted,
he instructed me
to water it every other day.
And so I did.
But
I couldn't help myself,
and named the tree
Kalpataru,
the wish fulfilling tree.
And more:
I built a low bench,
for the wish-seeker to squat on,
to pray
for the wish to be fulfilled.
The full moon brought
my young and bearded Landlord
back again.
He saw what I had done
and smiled.
I asked him, whether
he
had any wishes.
Again he smiled
and answered no, that he
had no wishes.
Ha !
What did I ever think !
