This poem has lain unfinished for over a year, poor thing... If anyone has any ideas, inspirations, etc, I'd really like to finish this poor creature. I meant it as a song, if that helps. Thank you. -wen
----------------------------------------------------
Verse 1
There's a sad, lonely tree in the forest
Its branches spread wide to the sun
And carved on its chest
There bare on its breast
The words for which many have come
To see...

Chorus
As long as the mountaintops
Still kiss the sky
Until I am sent
To lay down and die
As long as the shoreling
Caresses the sea
There still will be you and me

----------------------------------------------------
I was hoping to continue the verses in more of the story-telling manner, which is part of the reason I'm stuck.  Come on, you creative people you, I know you can help.  Thanks!

Apologies that I cannot help with this because my meager attempts would fail in a song.
I can say that it is an excellent start though.


 Don't gain my affections and cover my eyes. In blindness I will only swing harder.

The tree spoke of beauty
The tree spoke of woe
Yet its words had nowhere to go
So the tree Cries tears
As the bitter woe nears
And it sings clear....

CHORUS

Its song is carried
On the clouds
Accross the world
And from all around
People cried hearing the sound
So tree sang...

CHORUS

The Old earth heard its song
And it cried deep tears
And all around the tree
Greenery appeared
The forest is now bright
But the words are still clear.......

CHORUS


Hope this helps

Walter

of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Wen-  i don't know how you like walters ending, but I find it to be excellent.  Good work, the both of you  Bran

and the only way we are able to fly..
is by embracing each other.

The tree stands alone in the gentle breeze it rocks gently humming at the birds and the bees.

Unaware of the love it has seen from the earth and the seas and the gentle rain from the skies it feeds.
