Notes About The Poem

OF ALLEGORICAL SAGE TREES

 

Oh, those sage trees,

Symbolic reflectors 

Of God’s enlightenment—

Some, a hundred-plus feet high’

Others, just as old in age:-

Throughout the seasons of the year,

These sage trees canvass life’s stroll:

Trials, tribulations, and redemptions;

Allegorically, hinting rooted thoughts

Of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection—

Reflecting the navigation of God

Through the seasons of lived life:

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer:-

 

May the allegorical lessons

Of sage trees, forever be for us,

A living part of our divine wisdom

And sacred guidance awareness,

As we journey the daily courses

Of our life’s rising and setting suns:-

Hey, who would have ever thought,

Those sage trees, often taken for granted,

Would be so rooted and solidly trunked

With such allegorical contemplations?
