Image result for picture of the tree of life in all seasons

I remember the tree verdant in spring Those years stretched out could be filled with anything I had dreams of strong limbs and plenitude Thoughtfully give limbs for nest and bedewed I saw you change in fall to colors rare The frost touched your leaves and limbs unaware I saw winds swoop from the north stripping pride Then run its course, your fears you tried to hide I wonder what will happen to the tree Though life issues idiosyncrasy Written: 8-26-22 Contest: Dot Your i's and Cross Your t's Sponsor: Hilo Poet
