    Life as a tree

    THIS BEAUTIFUL TREE STANDING TALL WITH SUCH STRONG LIMBS
    BRANCHES SWAYING BACK AND FOURTH WITH SUCH EASE
    THIS BEAUTIFUL TREE IS SO FULL OF LIFE, FILLED WITH SUCH STRENGTH AND GRACE
    THE MIGHTY OAK SLOWLY LOSES THOSE VIBRATE COLORED LEAVES AND SOON DROPS TO THE GROUND.
    THIS TREE IS NOW STANDING NAKED AND EXPOSED, YEARNING TO FEEL THE SHELTER OF THOSE LEAVES THAT ONCE KEPT IT WARM
    IT’S NOT SO TALL AND STRONG AS IT ONCE HAD BEEN
    THE COLD HAS TAKEN ITS SHELTER AND THE SUNLIGHT HAS FADED AS WELL
    SEASON’S THE LIFE AND Existence OF a TREE IS SIMILAR TO LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
    WE START OUT TALL AND SO FULL OF SPIRT AND PROMISE BUT CERTAIN SISTUTIONS HAVE A WAY OF BREAKING OUR SPIRT AND OUR STERNGTH.
    WE ARE THEN Stripped OF OUR SELF ESTEEM AND LEFT NAKED AND EXPOUSED
    NAKED AND EXPOUSED WE LONG TO FEEL THE SHELTER THAT ONCE PROTECTED US FROM THE HARSH WORLD
    WE LONG TO FEEL THE WARMTH AROUND OUR HEART AND OUR SOUL
    WE LONG TO FEEL THE HOT SUN BEAT ON OUR FACE AND OUR LIPS CURVE TO MAKE A SMILE

    I like your metaphor - I can relate to the Spirit being broken. Thanks for your thoughts. Your imagery is thought provoking and very artful. Teabag

    thanks..how do you think it can be improved?

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
