A distant tree
A lone tree on top of the hill,
I wondered how it stood so still,
wind and rain, and through winter chill,
stood all seasons with a strong will.
my time went by from youth to age,
events moved on in life’s each page,
fear, doubt, insecurity, rage,
calm restored when wisdom brought sage.
the northern star would shine and fade,
in Sunset, Sunrise day would trade,
in a world that values gold and jade,
tree stood still with eternal shade.
In fates currents of ease and pain,
when alone in emotive strain,
I would look past my long dark lane,
from a far tree much wisdom gain.
