Think of me,

left bare,

as the pinks
and purples
of the season
dress the others,

forsaken, i am
the orphan
that stands alone,

ashamed; i feel
your slap, as the
currents of the bay
rummage thru
my nakedness,

think of me,

but have i merely
painted you with heart,

would you care to know
how the rain hammers
on my broken branches,

or that i can still thrive
as the birds seek me
as respite for
their weary flight?

do you know
when nighttime comes
and i pretend to sleep,

i am only waiting
for the fallout
of the heavens
to ring me
in ethereal glow,

think of me,

when you can no longer look away,

may i play the martyr
to your awakened soul?

For some reason, this made me so close to tears. and not in a sad way. It's so, so so beautiful. That's all I can say.

You do have a way of making a point.  This is so sad.  Wonderful write.

In its lovely and somewhat subtle way, this poem is extremely powerful....and glowing.   ...jo

For school once I had to do a report of "I am a...", once of the things I chose was a tree.
But nothing I wrote for it could have turned out as beautiful as this.
Painful, but perfect.

Always, Alyssa

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
