Tree


 
 
 
 
 
There is something

Dark and mysterious

About a tree-

The way it twists and

Tangles

And bends with

The wind.

The way it changes

And dies and

Is born again.

For each ring

Exists a story,

Waiting to be

Told-

Another dream

Beneath its

Branches…

 

To lie quietly

Under a tree

Flat on your back

And wondering,

To invite its

Leaves to come

To you

And offer

Something new. 

 

To sense the sadness

Of the tree

The way its leaves are

Weeping…

And yet the tree

Comforts you

In your time of

Need.
