Banyan Ban-Ban

A   L   O   H   A  !
THE BANYAN TREE SONG by Nguyên Lê on Grooveshark
 Banyans
 of our youth,
rich at morning,
sorry we swung
from your
irresistible
 "branches."









 Rapunzel Spun
Golden
you Mesmer
my eyes













 Aerial roots 
  above the ground
reaching, 
gravity - growing












Humble finger buds
long to reach
into soil.

  Branches
 bud shoots
which soar
to the ground, 
 taking root 
becoming trunks;
a forest
of sister trees
interlaced.
Mysterious.
"Enter"














That beckoning space 
long lingers
 in one's thoughts;
even later 
at the show-

  9. I do love banyans and remember swinging from them as a child too. I think my favorite banyan is the one in Lahaina.

  13. Invariably I would get a golf ball stuck in one on any course I played on Oahu. I notice that all those cane fields out by Ewa Beach are now golf courses and resorts. Aloha
