Arturo Michael Poet Verse

White Sunday

The final leaf falls

And I’m bare

It’s me you’re reading here

What I am I’ve always been

Even if I decorate my tree with colorful crystal balls
 
I've braved a winter’s pain

A summer’s swell

I can spring anew and I do fall 

I cry like a baby and laugh through it all

Cause I am who I am standing tall 
 
Seasons come and seasons go

My branches reaching out to touch you  

Welcoming what life unfolds

My roots firmly planted by a river that flows 

In a conscious garden

The soil of heaven feeds my earthly soul

Roxane Aristy October 31, 2019 at 2:20 PM How refreshing the spiritual strength of this man-tree. One living planted and conscious of all Creation. One who withstands the seasons' wear and tear and see a sign of deeper growth and flourishing endurance. Transcendence in gratitude. Sublime poem, Arturo.
