A Tree
Posted By Elfie on November 27, 2009
What is a tree?
The trunk:
The power of our convictions and faith
The branches:
The many facets of our soul yet to be realized.
The leaves:
The fabric of our ideas, each perfect in their unique shape,
Expressing the intricate lacework of what we each are.
So, as we walk by a grove of trees,
Or by one alone,
We could see what we were, are, and still can be.
Yet, why is it that we can’t see the forest for the trees?
(this poem won the Editors Choice Award from The American Poetry Anthology)
