In Perfect Harmony

The tree and the vine in perfect harmony
Growing together the way it should be
Their lives cross like veins of life
Yet they stay together through natures strife

In general they are, in the world we live
Although their are some who never forgive
They can suffocate, consume with a passion
Leave life so frail, grey to ashen

Then there are us humans, well what can I say
We are so like them in every way
Even we can live in harmony
Unlike the tree and the vine, more we should be

Hi James. Nice analogy. Your first stanza in particular reminds me so much of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago about the allegorical relationship between a climbing plant and a trellis. I enjoyed your quatrain very much ~ Sharon

No, we certainly haven't learned to live in harmony as nature does, James. Nice analogy using the symbiotic relationship of the tree and the vine. Love, Carolyn
