Night Jasmine- Tree of Sorrow



Mild, balmy breeze,
Hauntingly fragrant
With Night Jasmine.

A small evergreen tree,
Twinkling
With ivory white flowers
In my garden,
Resplendent at night,


Like the star
Studded sky.
Before the day breaks,
The tree silently sheds
Its crowning glory

On Mother Earth's breast.
To pay homage
In all humility.

Overcome with wonder
I find myself ponder,
As I gather the flowers
In my wicker basket
On my way to the temple.

To offer
To the deity
At the altar.

Oh, Harshingar,
Why are you
Called
The Tree of Sorrow?


Night Jasmine is called Harshingar and Paarijatta in India its
A sacred tree, grown in temples. Flowers are offered to the deity in the temples. there are many myths associated with it.
