A Lone Palm Appears

    A young oak grows tall and broad
       like its peers, brushing the sky
    Mighty, though not unique to the eye …

    A lone palm appears midst the parched desert
       It alone, steadfast and upright, is seen to flourish
    It alone, merciful and kind, travelers nourish

Love your insight on this Lone Palm in the desert. Love the imagery in this one and the feeling of that Palm there for us to see flourish.

A hopeful and affirming poem, Gershon. A kind of oasis in the desert. May your Monday be creative and inspiring, shalom. :)

Creative - yes. Inspiring - again, yes. But mostly PERSPIRING. ~ Sweat Tee Juan
