The Lone Tree

Rising high and alone, above a sea of grass,
Basking in the glow of the setting sun,
Soaking in the warmth and comfort of its rays,
With strokes of red and orange on a blue background,
Leaves dancing to the tunes of the gentle evening breeze
Oh, you beauty!
You paint a picture of serenity and splendour

The apple of many a photographer’s eye
Resilience and grace define you
Through the adversity of the Summer’s heat
Branches swaying back and forth in the dreary winds on a cold December night
Yet you stand, stubborn and unfazed

Your shade is revered by many
Be it the players of football
Cooling between bouts of adrenaline charged matches
Or the batsmen
Awaiting their turns at batting during cricket practice

A symbol for the very principles
On which NCBS is based on
Without you, NCBS will never be the same!

On the cusp of dawn
When the misty land beckons
Come, let us take a walk
Into the foggy wilderness,
beneath the clouds
into the unknown,
into no man's land
and seek out undiscovered treasures
Oh such joy and delight!
Come, let us walk together....
