This Tree

This Tree

A Poem by emily joe

I"ll stand up for the tree

That stood up for me

When the world hid in shadows

Of shades gray

 

The truth is written

On bathrrom stall doors

Engraved in the pavement

On the sidewalks

Right in front of your picket fenced house

 

And you miss it

You walk past it everyday

And when it rains

You remember that day

That you stood

Underneath my tree

       D R Y

Pea coat toggles done to the top

As the sky filled your rain boots

With tears

 

The truth is written

On bathroom stall doors

 

Open your eyes

See the truth

Truth hides in and on many things, sometimes right in front of our eyes! This is amazing love! Delicately voiced, a little surreal, perfect balance! xx
