Sharon Ruebel Poet Nonet

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...

Johnny Rhinem October 14, 2013 at 5:38 PM † Again, Sweet Beautiful Sharon, I Can Easily View Myself Within This Painting. To Take This Child's Truth A Bit Further; If My Own Life Were To Be As This Metaphor Then, A Branch Whom Never Truly Budded ? 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 Sharon Ruebel October 15, 2013 at 11:32 AM Hello Johnny, so sweet and kind of you to visit. Your messages are always poems within themselves. I Thank you for your kind words and hope you are well and doing fine. As Always, with lov, Shar Johnny Rhinem October 14, 2013 at 5:53 PM PS., "THE FAITHLESS DO NOT GET IT ? 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 *
