This reminded me how life can shape us...Sara

Bent with age circumstances of life shaped trunk Strong green limbs and branches shine Distant storm approaches

This was the approach I was expecting the other poem to go into, it's nice to see this route being used creatively and accurately! You have written a truly wonderful write here my friend! I really enjoyed the last line immensely, "Distant storm approaches" it tells of an aboding storm that can do damage to our peaceful characteristic tree! I love your poem Sara! Great Work!!
