My Mind -As a Metaphor-

My mind is a tree, With millions of leaves Connected to millions of twigs Connected to 58 branches. There are squirrels too. (Lots of them) The roots -like a mangrove- burrow and conquer. It grows when it shines, Sleeps when it's dark, And shrinks beneath the cold. You should see it when it blooms; It's full and quite lovely.

Enjoyed reading this one..There is a doctor that compares our brain to a tree..If it has negative thoughts they become a dark spot in the brain which then feeds on more bad things..A black hole so to speak..Enjoyed reading this morning..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..Sara
