My heart is filled with tears,
But I have forgotten how to cry,
How to feel, to love.
Then the wind calls my name.

A tree is a loved one passed,
Its branches are desperate hands,
Reaching for the heavens,
Thirsty for love,

I close my eyes and let go,
Of objects and stereotypes,
And drop a tear of love,
Love for living my life,

A tear shakes the earth,
And is absorbed by a tree,
Who now transends to the heavens,
A soul rescued by love.

And is absorbed by a tree,
Who now transends to the heavens,
A soul rescued by love.
============================

this is a lovely and clever poem of imagery and analogy,
love the metaphor of the tree.
Welcome to Poetry Land, so nice to have you here with us.

Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.
