Image result for two sapling living oaks close together in the stages of their growth Actually a poem form called Telsa. Not sure this is right.

Two sapling oaks in early spring Soft sage color their tender leaves wave Light reflects Verdant leaves intertwine in summer Their bond has stood the test of time What will gnarled limbs reach next When winter comes, and twisted limbs fall The light shines through and reaches brush Younger life must rise, life that's complex

Oh wow, what a richly evocative poem this is, that serves a deeper philosophical perspective and paints the image of those two oaks in such a vibrant manner. I love how you've made comparisons with life here and especially your artistic wordsmithery "Soft sage color their tender leaves wave", "Their bond has stood the test of time", "Younger life must rise, life that's complex " So much you've conveyed in that last line! Absolutely stunning! Keep writing and shining always ~

Hiya, I am so delighted that you saw the deeper meaning of this one. My husband are now the older ones who will have to give way to the younger ones who will rise to live life and how I hope it is lived with kindness and love. Sara K
