Premium Member HUMAN FAMILY TREE
Trees form an alliance…you might say they’re in cahoots… with other trees and organisms that intertwine within their roots. Pine, fir, palm, cherry, maple…it matters not what we call them what differences on their outsides we may see… The thread connecting them means they are all one family… and that family is…tree. It’s amazing how it works…if a tree needs something...

The Tree
Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in,...

Great Family Tree

Premium Member A Tough Nut to Crack
Violet Smith lived in Center Kingdom. Her neighbors were Jack and Jill; Like orange sun, of a pink morning, when it's just peeking over blue hills. With Mother and Father and sister, Ava, Violet enjoyed life on Sage farm; Just as lilac breezes, from out of the south, only rove to keep you warm. Theirs was a land that...

Premium Member I am a shadow on the branch of the family tree,
I am a shadow on the branch of the family tree, A lost echo in the memory of a mother who would shudder with shame, A shapeless form trying to survive, to breathe, Yet failing like a withered leaf falling before its time. My father looks at me through mirrors of unforgiveness, Like a piece of furniture silently regretted, I know...

Premium Member Why Weeping Willows Weep
Mankind in all his stupidity and greed is slowly destroying our beautiful earth, the warnings are there but he chooses to ignore them. Quote by poet. I sat down under the cool shade of some weeping willow trees, a babbling brook flowed nearby and was so soothing to hear. I felt totally relaxed then I fell asleep...

* I am a green Christmas tree aglow blinking in the darkest night decorated with lights and ribbons angelic star at the top and gifts at the base.

The Other World
In mystic forest, where human wisdom fades, A world of secrets, beyond our mortal shades. The forest whispers truths, we've yet to grasp, As ancient trees stand guard, with mysteries to clasp. A mahogany tree, tall and proud, Became the stage for a supernatural cloud. A sawman's blade, with intent to claim, Was halted by a voice, an old woman's refrain. The slap...

Premium Member An Olive Tree
In this new century of our Lord The gardener planted the young tree Placed in garden of Gethsemane An olive to the knee Around two thousand years have passed A beaten path close by Each word the Olive tucks away Within its heart with sighs When Jesus was just a small boy He would come some to play His tender hand caressed its...
