Notes About The Poem

   

Tree

To feel the joy
of my transplant, caring hands
that touch my very soul,
the willing earth
where you placed me
blessed, by nature’s 
incessant role,
the warmth of your regard
like wine transcends,
when the feeling of love
surrounds me.
Oh to be here 
yet not alone, 
beneath the azure sky
needing your care, and those
rolling clouds to come on by,
to be a part of this
complex simplicity
sculptured I am, with in
nature’s moods,
yet here in this corner
of your life,
forever let this be
our sanctuary!

This is a wonderful poem you have written here. From the title "tree" it could be a personification or an allegory. Very well written poem.

My sweet friend you have inspired to save tree too here in this wonderful poem. The worldly nature will become bald with out tree. They help us from many ways by sacrificing everything and play constant role of providing. Nicely done. Loved always, bl
