Tree of Dreams

A tree of height dreams was vast Sweet gum it seems, when I chance to retrace tender childhood thoughts. Young dreams of enemy's luck in classic schemes. Thoughts would drift as wars with my demons were fought. An old Sweet gum tree, my womb of strong support, she mothered my dreams, fetus did not abort. Divine boughs call now I Godly dedicate, my witness by grace, as I still meditate. ====================== 4/19/2011
