Simple Tree

POEM " SIMPLE TREE " by martin gedge Captured by the light I stand alone to face the wind each branch to beat my gracious heart with roots all tightly in of every breath I'm taking here beneath the moon and star over green of fields they lay these eyes have traveled far the many of the coats I wear as season change with age the many books that bare my soul are written on my page the rain has fed my soiled girth the worth of which I grow and storms beyond the godly norms have tossed me to and fro but nature's finest pleasure sweet as treasure in thy name to gloat the sky oh wondrous eye to face the sunny flame and in my shade for those who've laid I offered you my sleep a sheltered place to rest in grace to hold you in my keep a brilliant bond that lingers on for all the world to see to often lead with every seed I am a simple tree.... by Martin Gedge©
