this tree - winter tree - witch tree

this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree
written december 3rd, 2020



every season
of a tree
has a beauty all it's own

spring sprouts - blush of first love
summer lush greenery - the fullness of love
fall explosion of color - love burning itself out

but it is
this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree
that speaks to me most

your branches
spindly fingers
clearly reach
for your lover the sun

this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree

every cell
strains upward
wanting to be one
with the sun

this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree

raw skeleton exposed
loves first bloom long gone
longing for
your lover's touch

this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree

do you know
that your lover's skin
will set you both aflame
until her desire is quenched
and you are left
but ash and bone
do you care?

this tree - winter tree -<b> witch </font></b>tree

reaching ever upward
towards your love
wanting what you want
regardless the consequences

i try to walk each day. i often think about the trees and plants i see as i walk. today the trees, naked of their leaves, looked haunted and i couldn't get over how the branches reached for the sun. so much of the year we can't see that. the words "this tree - witch tree" kept going through my head as i walked. sometimes most of a poem will write itself as i walk, sometimes, just a phrase or idea, echoes in my mind.

We all want to reach for the unobtainable or the bright shiny thing. No matter the age or species , everything needs more to sustain itself. We can be haunted one day and blessed the next. Anything is possible as long one tries. You found your words and reached us the readers.

Again, the imagery you project in your poetry is wonderful. And the thought about loving regardless of the consequences... so true about how we often live our own lives... striving for, craving, reaching for that which, if truly attained, might burn us in the end.

Keep writing!

The tree is only a sleep
Its time to rest from a long spring, summer and fall.
With out rest they die.
Look close very close and see the new life on each branch
Its buds are waiting for the time to break open and start a new.
