The Lonely Tree

I stood, the lonely tree In a forest of false faces Turning into silence Making use of empty spaces Taller then the rest I stand Looking out over many lies A tapestry weaved of deception Colliding to illude the eye A bird perched on my shoulder Sings to me a song of peace and joy Bringing new found peace and life That the evil try to destroy The sweet melody speaks of hope In a world that is quickly falling It's a mournful cry for help The children of the world it's calling We stand now, a united forest Listening to humanites cry for salvation And we root ourselves in hope All is takes is a dream and determination.

Very interesting poem, can't hope to express what I feel in a few short words, I am filled with a sense of hope. Well done.
