The Last Stanza

Lonely Banyan Tree

Your painted footsteps
And gazing eyes 
As monsoon snuggles and rains
And drains and drifts and lives and dies
In forty six iron rails

Forbidden clouds from tibetan lands
As they leak with Azure Sea
On steps of stones
On rusty rails and a lonely banyan tree.

"drains and drifts and lives and dies" like it. The aspect of human side...drift and drain...I like the reversed logic because usually it drifts then drains...
