The Tree.

Poem I wrote after a walk I had :)

My strength is withering ever so slowly,

I am losing all hope,

I don't know what's left to do,

I keep descending down this slope.

 

I started walking a lot lately,

Just trying to keep my mind busy,

Then I ran into something quite magical,

The thought just makes me dizzy.

 

I was walking in a deserted forest,

With no animals around,

None in the trees or sky,

None even on the ground.

 

Until I came to the foot of a tree,

Its roots both twisted and withered,

Its bark half torn away,

To which it sent a shiver.

 

The tree was tall,

Almost touching the sky,

A hole in the center of its trunk,

But no animal dare lay inside

 

The tree stood free of anything else,

It stood out amoungst them all,

Only I would dare to stand close,

No fear of the tall.

 

I began to wish,

Wish with everything I had,

That maybe someday,

I would have nothing I could call bad.

 

I saw this tree,

It was the thing I would look up to,

Whenever my day was bad,

I would look and take a second view.

 

I would be strong and survive every storm,

Just like the tree,

I would wear my scars with pride,

Just like the tree,

And one day,

I know I'd find the true me.

very nice.. a lil comment for you though..

"And one day, I know I'd find the true me". Don't waste your time searching for yourself. Instead, spend every moment of your life creating the person you wanna be.

I enjoyed reading this, well done!

This beautiful. I love the way you are so in tuned with nature here. If we all respected nature...our world would be a healthier place.

this is awesome. I love the whimsical atmosphere it gives off, but at the same time, it's so liberating & melancholic. Fantastic poem, you did an amazing job. :)
