Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

A Tree Yon Forest

Wind plots path confronts tree micro-mass mole,
Legions of leaves, twigs, armored branches whole,
Ill-equipped convictions were extensive,
Stamina, held, losses were intensive.

Sun floats freely above and takes delight,
Wielding its rays, every way, all its might,
Shines through numerous limbs abandoned truth,
Dries foundation, steep its fingers, soiled root.

Rain downpours, floods, futile and unyielding,
Guilty stands accused, exposed, unfeeling,
Its decay, branch, leaves fall, full exposure,
Typical tree, being plain, disclosure.

Commonality as being a tree,
Frail, hail, fail, sail, parts of my history.
