In this new century of our Lord
The gardener planted the young tree 
Placed in garden of Gethsemane 
An olive to the knee

Around two thousand years have passed
A beaten path close by
Each word the Olive tucks away
Within its heart with sighs

When Jesus was just a small...

There wasn’t any way I could have boiled
and drunk yesterday’s cup of espresso or 
moved the olive tree past the ridge or make 
the sky forever purple, or perch with the 
sparrows and blue jays on an oak tree branch.

The greatest of all the trees 
if pressed would be the olive tree.
Surely, created by mother nature.
At a place where the Aegean Sea,
stretches out to meet the land of Crete.
Nature has bestowed upon her a majestic tree 
with a warm climate with rich fertile lands.
And...

The olive tree withstands,
History tells her story,
Age portrays it,
Thousands years of growth,
No matter what comes,
She stands the test of time,
Wars, disasters, blood, 
Tears and peace,
Past present and future,
Nothing can uproot,
Or take away her love,
Brilliantly shining,
Her message to the world,
Producing good vibes,
Small oval fruit,
With a bitter...

I’m Syrian, from the Middle East, 
Where olives make so big a feast.
And olive oil goes with every meal, 
And black dried olives conceal,

My appearance has been praised and lamented,
Admired and sneered.
I grow as old as the oak,
And go back to whence I came.
No man knows my story or my sorrow.
I am the olive tree.

I have been used and harvested,
Nurtured and burned.
The Greeks have hated and revered me,
Suffered...

Aged,gnarled rooted in him
Hardened in part,supporting the tree;
Fallen,but not cast off are you,
Broken in unbelief,provoked jealous
As wild boughs engrafted thereto;
Fallen,but not cast off are you.
Bitter yet productive,like fruit from the stone.
Natural branch shoots,no less able of grafting thereto;
Fallen ,but not cast off are you....

Fuel and food for thee & me
To Noah a sign of life
And others ,a symbol to end strife-
A pictorial arbor emblem
To encompass God's kingdom...

They cut down the olive trees
and shoot the farmers, unarmed, in the belly, 
in plain view of IDF soldiers, relishing the moment.
How sweet it is to die under the shade of their olive trees,
that bind them to their tortured history.
And the wind that blows the...

Under an olive tree,
covered from the sun
we used to sit down.
In the shade of an olive tree
we laughed and had fun,
out from the busy life in town.
In the middle of nowhere
we built castles in the sky,
we drew stairs to go there
knowing it was too high.
Under...
