so what, if the branches of this tree are naked

so what
if my branches are naked
having shed all leaves
are not they more earnest
in holding the clouds
which wind is eager to take away

when we need to walk
on paths to goals, far beyond
what we can see today,
do we seek guarantee that
clouds will not behave erratically
if they do, they will
one can not impose discipline on winds
clouds
and their shadows
at sunset
in which aroma of withering leaves gets mixed
and i wish to sleep then
under this tree
so what if its branches are naked…
