        Stones and Twisted Sticks


tree of life
with twisted sticks
bleeding heart
held together by bricks
sticks of time
bent from weight
bow and bend
but do not break
jagged stones
that are my own
others are...
boulders thrown
these stones and sticks
I shall keep
my wall grows strong
I am not weak


"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

nicely done... always enjoy your words...

like the tree of life built of twisted stick image..

Twine together
these vines that grow
from seed we planted
so long ago


Love to read..and yours are always among my favorites..
