Curative Leaves

Under divinities shadow,
Rests the tree of life.
With aromatic branches,
Dissected by a pocket knife.

Medicinal veins lushly flow,
Carrying remedial cures.
A verdant daze ensues,
As romantic buds allure.

Poetic smoke…recites,
The stanzas of cannabis trees.
As healthy lungs exclaim,
The power of curative leaves.

Nice write, but personally, I can do without the leaves of the cannabis plant.

Thank you for stopping by and blessing me with some comments Robert. I personally don't use this plant either. But I have a few friends that do. My emphasis for this piece is for it medicinal use far from it's illegal connotations. I hope you enjoyed it...Raul

I haven't written in a while Carrie, just stopped by to drop a few lines. It's nice to hear from you and pen something again. Lucky is a friend from California, Abe and him are my friends. He's a musician and a great one at that. I am sure you would love his music. It is a joy to know you are still around the soup, I hope to hear from you soon and God bless. -R
