Tree

Tree

where you go
the wind follows
as if no

choice remains but
that of sun
and oak an

attraction such that
limbs curve to
light a certainty

which cautions us
to intrude lest
we lose all

sight and sense
of beauty you
are this tree

  1. I love this piece Robert, and as coincidence would have it, I’ve just written a Haiku called ‘Tree’. I haven’t posted it on my site yet, so here’s a world debut especially for you…

    “I stand in your shade
    Your limbs shed leaves over me
    I’m warm in your arms”
