The Tree and Me

Everyday as i pass the old tree

        i compare myself to the limbs

            branches hanging lower now

                leaves dropping and bark scarred

                    the deep roots un-earthed

                        tree house fallen

                            glory days

                                lost in

                                    time...

Allan Koven Date: 10/22/2013 3:10:00 PM Sharon, loved this. I have written three poems about my fondness for trees. Check out sixth sense seduction and From where I stand. Trees tell many stories. But of course it is tree language. Allan Login to Reply Sharon Ruebel Date: 10/22/2013 3:44:00 PM Hello Allan, Thank you for your kind words and for reading me today! I will look those up for sure.

No Fruit, Just The Scorching Heat Beating Down Upon A Life Dependant; Waiting For Love's Gardener * Fast Forward: Countless Joyous Birds, Lodging Amid Mercy's Thriving Branches ˜ I Can Find Your Priceless Beauty Within This Picture, Too! Good To See You Again, Love, John Login to Reply Sharon Ruebel Date: 10/15/2013 11:32:00 AM Hello Johnny, so sweet and kind of you to visit. Your messages are always poems within themselves.

THEIR TOO BUSY CHASING AFTER DUST AND BEING BLIND........, IN THE GHETTO, AKA, PLANET EARTH BUT, AS ANY GHETTO, ONCE UPON A TIME IT WAS PRISTINE AND SPARKLING WITHIN BEAUTY * STILL BEAUTY REMAINS ALL OVER, YET THE HINGES SQUEEK OF NEGLECT AS ABUSE....................., AND THE PUPPET MASTER'S puppet masters PUPPETS ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW FURTHERING THEIR PART WITHIN SUCH ABUSE AND NEGLECT ¿ LOVE AGAIN AS ALWAYS, me *
