Among the Trees

It started with a smile, Running after this beautiful butterfly And ended with a group of pile, Burning its ashes in the sky. The gravitational force of the forest, Was like the utter submission of the soul Giving your whole days racing after the harpist, And forgetting all about the black hole. The stroll was full of glee: Harpists, butterflies and no plea. Unexpectedly, being blinded caused disorientation Finding yourself lost among the trees, And your heart just full of hesitation You came to a dead end where you flee. Days passed like lingering years, And you didn't have a single weapon not even spears. It is time when you implored the Sun; To show its light even if beneath the glum It is time when you pleaded the moon; To never let the dark cause any doom. A flaw realized after the agony.. But it was said that it wasn't a tragedy. They were just some injuries; To teach you that life is full of miseries. Never reproach yourself Some trees appeared in your way To show you that you are more than an elf.

Sandy, the poem is very descriptive. To understand a tree, is to realize life is more than meets the eye. Amazing narrative poem. LINDA
