Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth
think quickly
fungal strands
frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets
did I lock the door
letter from a pocket
can’t reach that itch
tickly cough
grandad’s skin

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 TreeSome 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,...

Cross of GnosisThe debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt

Great Family TreeSpring and Summer those seasons went by
The best thing in the world always falls from the sky
No matter the situation, the love was theirs
The price was no luxury for the poor boys and girls
To sit up and prosper with such a delight
It grew up so fast, like a thief in the night
Many more came from...

SacrificeSacrifice
I was one of many on the Mount of Olives and
every year produced batches of black olives.
Sweet and black, my olives were prized near and far and
my owner would always brag about his favorite tree.
I was one of the first to be planted and was king of the grove.
Till one day some strange men in...

A Tough Nut to CrackViolet 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...

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...

Why Weeping Willows WeepMankind 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...

Christmas Tree
*
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.
I see smile on each and every face
in the happy season of love
when the light of hope shines
bright and spreads the festive magic in the cold air
as the wafting snowflakes weave motifs outside
the joy of warmth from...

Park Just After DawnThe warmth of the sunrise cast upon the emptiest park.
The treeline afar resembling a foreign far eastern palace.
The wind blowing the leaves and swings out of their stillest place....

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...

An Olive TreeIn 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...
