Beneath The Tree Of Life Beneath the tree of life I lay my head; While lost in tranquil feel of Life's embrace, The leaves of past and present well imbed, While future gently covers up my face. A memory escapes in silent squall, The hidden depths of what my heart conceals; But yesterday's reflections can't enthral, The daily blithefulness that life reveals. With dewdrop tears I bid farewell to past, For future will bestow leaves from above; Astonished comprehension at long last; At least I've known the beauty of true love. While lost in tranquil feel of Life's embrace, Beneath the tree of life I rest my case. |

Everything that comes from your pen is gold! I haven't read one poem by you that wasn't perfection This is wise and so beautiful! You really can write any form of poetry, can't you? - it was no surprise that you mastered the sonnet form You should be very proud...this is a keeper~ I hope that Nan reads this~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
