How sad the trees in winter’s cold
when stripped and bare they stand,
exposed and waiting, knowing
the fullness of their worth
will one day testify to their stability.

Hidden underground, unseen, untouchable,
new roots search for sustenance
like a spirit born in flesh
would seek again the home of love
upon maturity.

Afraid and shy in nakedness
yet stubborn in the breeze
mistakes of seasons past
must fall as leaves to ground
with the birthing of belief
in love’s timeless loyalty.

Trees like you and me
greet summer differently
but who can test the depths of love
upon this worldly stage
when all begins and never ends
with what we feel inside?

Un-maimed, unchanged, love’s essence pure,
re-seeds itself in memory, dreams or fantasy
so all may know the truth of immortality.

And I dream therefore of you through winter into spring
till summer blooms again my deepest fantasy
and lays in memory the road through living hell
towards the open door of all I’m destined for!

Hurray!!   I am so glad to see you posting more in here Helen.  Your writing is uncanny, almost like a sixth sense.  You stir so many emotions,
as if breathing poetry is second nature to you.  


Now then, about Sunday?     Hug~

Always so insightful!

Dear Bluesy, What to write on Sunday night that's not been said before is a problem I am having in this reality where I find myself involved with trials of human life!     Thank you for your encouraging comment.

Martie - Hi, and thank you for the read.
