Beneath The Tree Of Life Beneath the tree of life I lay my head The leaves of past and future are my bed While present gently covers up my face Lost in tranquillity of life's embrace Old memories upset the balance frail A long lost love disturbs the present scale Nothing could mar this happiness divine Too little time was given to entwine And yet I bid farewell to thee my love For future will bestow leaves from above Confused and startled by a soul akin Incapable to catch what lays within Lost in tranquillity of life's embrace Beneath the tree of life I rest my case Munda [This message has been edited by Munda (edited 01-23-2001).] |

Munda; this is an exquiste Sonnet. Beautifully done! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Munda, Beautifully sad--or sadly beautiful. Anyway, it's a beatiful sonnet...and uncanny, as fate would have it. Gene |

Munda, Melancholy sweetness! I like this little treasure! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

I really like this. You have written it so well, and the title is so fitting, and so much truth is brought forth in so little words. We all have to learn to rest beneath the tree of life as you have described here so well. This is definely a keeper! |

This is a lovely sonnet, Munda. I love the tree of life image and the way you have carried it through. Well done. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Munda..great piece..the sonnet can be a real challenge.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
