The Wild Fig Tree was growing in its wilderness
A weary traveller once found respite under its shade
And though not a bird sat on its branches, or the desert insects
crawled where it was rooted, the fig tree cared not for its aloneness.
"I am enough to beautify this land, though deserted."
Parched and dry are the grounds on which I grow.
My roots are buried where the waters flow,
from springs that thrive deep below.
Hence, my branches are heavy with a lushness that shows.
Not the heat from the searing sun do my leaves fear
As they multiply and thicken on my branches
to provide a verdant veneer
The wadi, once a thriving river, has run dry,
while I stood cooler in the open desert sun.
For the weary traveller, the tree was more than a shade,
His ancient masters
say
The fig tree is peace and prosperity
A life free from fear, it represents
to sit under one's own vine and fig tree
without fear
is an ancient wisdom
One must never forget.
