Save the Tree

The tree is bare, cold and lonely,
Shivering, waiting for something.
The one dark spot on all the lawn
Is this tree, soon to be gone.

It's points intimidate nature
While it's rough bark peels and litters.
The tree huddles in a large heap;
It's the one thing nature can't keep.

The tree wavers, but doesn't tip,
It just wants to hold on longer.
But with everything hating it,
It'll be hard not to quit.

A gloomy day passes along
Rain splashing on the naked branches.
When a there is a powerful blow,
The tree decides to let it go.

It crashes to the hard, wet ground,
Settling it's final desicion.
To this day, the tree still lays there,
Regretting everything, in despair...

I Am The Oak Tree.

I am the barren tree,. All the leaves have fallen - vacated,. I stand tall yet lonely,. I feel bare, completely naked,. Hundreds of years old I am,. The wise old lonely oak,.

To Be A Tree

To have to stand in the pouring rain. To lose your foliage over and over again. To be climbed on and cut up by man and child. To give up and fall over when the wind gets too wild.

Winter Breeze

Grey day Black night Sun and Moon Hide out of sight. Clouds dominate Cover stars Sulking giants Leaving scars. But they are sad They cry rain To fill rivers and lakes and oceans Again.

Willow

A weeping willow said to me. I'm crying uncontrollably. Because all of the other trees. Are growing skyward unlike me. There there I said don't be depressed. You're better dressed than all the rest.

Nature's Battle

calm stream bubbles down smooth stone rocks. sunshine glitters off little crashing waves. sweet grasses sway with pretty flowers. puffy white clouds float blue skies for days.

The River Blackwater

Soapy froth of the sea Peaceful you lay and be. But your waters are dark with thick mud. Bubbles made, but they're not suds. Why is it your waters are grim. They cause you to drown rather than swim.

Everyone Must Snow

The icy cold air consumes my breath. It's sensation so refreshing to taste. Amazed. I stop and take a firm step. As snow falls graciously upon my blushed face. The journey to earth is meandering.
