The Tree

Two seeds in love out of view speak of roots,
Roots grew quickly fertilize by needs.                                                                                                                     Needs like seeds grew up into two tree both beloved,
And soon the two rooted trees form an exclusive group.

One beautiful tree with beautiful leaves sees the eyes of eternity,
Nourished with kisses and hugs in loving fertile mud,
But soon shrouds of clouds and doom obscured the tree’s view.

But the beautiful tree needed to believe,
Its life was destiny directed and connected to what rest above.

But soon strangling shoots heavily grew to consume the beautiful tree’s roots,
And destiny’s hand swept the tree from the promised land and into the dark sea,
But despite no earth to cling to, the tree could see the sky was always blue
