Tree of Life - Symbolic poem

Old and wise, gnarled by age

Blow in the wind, and calm thy rage

Mourn the passing of yet another day

And weep because things will never change

Standing proud, with unwavering beauty

True to thyself, with roots planted firmly

Knowledge unspoken

Vows unbroken

Limbs stretched, reaching toward the sky

No reason to be insecure, no reason to be shy

Watching the world unfold in all its glory -never a word

The secrets of life are kept safely inside- never to be heard

The sunset can be seen through those dancing leafs

As the sky turns purple, orange, and pink

Steadfast you stand, upright you will stay

Because there truly is no other way

As the day passes into the still of night

And the moons glow is the only light

We look up in wonder- yet never see

The world as it was meant to be
