A Piece of Rainbow Blooming in a Gray Landscape

A banana tree in the city. Under its leaves, I paused. Summer’s warmth and nature’s whisper quietly filled my heart.

One soft summer afternoon,

I paused in front of a small scene I stumbled upon.

Amidst the gray buildings of the city,

a lush banana tree stood proudly in full green.

Firmly rooted in the ground,

the banana tree seemed to be quietly speaking to the sky.

Its leaves swayed gently with the breeze,

and the sunlight lit up the green in a dazzling way.

I merely stood beneath the tree,

yet I felt as if I had suddenly been transported

to the heart of a tropical island.

The noise faded,

and time slowed down a little.

Surprisingly, this banana tree was growing

on a small garden bed, like a backyard farm.

Fallen leaves blanketed the ground,

and circular wooden logs made a natural fence,

as if someone had built it with care.

Who planted this tree here, and why?

Was it merely decorative,

or a quiet experiment

to live with nature within the city?

Whatever it was,

this tree filled the moment with quiet abundance.

Amid cold concrete,

it breathed a warm tropical air into the day.

People passed by the scene,

but I decided to rest under its leafy shadows.

Beneath the banana tree in the city,

sunlight, breeze, and my heart

all found a moment of stillness.
