The tree

On Facebook I sacrificed a quiet life,

Said something, sin to corruption,

That comes down hard on difference,

I wrote a poem for you, so you see thru me,

I’m giving myself as a gift to the world,

Thru the battle, the trees, flowers and birds

Spread smiles, look affectionately,

The trees speak thru me to you tonight,

About the meaning of life, and love

Bigger than this realm, speaks,

Perhaps,

You’ll see, maybe not now, but you will,

I’ll tell you what you mean to me:

Light

Like spokes in a wheel, aflame inside

Me, a gift to my life, which I return

To the world. Because of you, the smiles

Light thru these words, a blessing,

You, shining, I see it all, the heart that

Will wither, like a root. You, the light

Of that darkness, I pick up from the

Dying. That which beckons ahead,

That which will last beyond digital death,

That be’s you.
