Life Sustained

lone tree of life stands
facing storms in light that streams
from God's piece of sky

Wow! What a natural image. I've always had this sort of vision when looking at trees - trees as representative of one's struggle through life. What's hard to understand abut "Buds?" Of course buds are people. You can't refute this because you can't get into a bud's head. HO! HA! Love, Dave

Dear Ms. Dietrich I like this haiku - it reminds me of Emily Dickinson. What did you mean by the three decades you covered? I do not understand what was the poem you wanted me to see. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish P.S. ARe you related to Marlene Dietrich?
