Little Tree
easy to spot youΒ
at half the height
And twice the strengthΒ
of the saplings around youβ
What must it be like to be you?
First attempt at life
taken.Β
Trunk amputated beneathΒ
disfiguring abuseβ
degenerative disease, perhaps.Β
Your scar is a peek
into your story
and your optimismΒ
thrives
in your single, surviving branch.Β
Tiny leaves flutter merrilyΒ
as the wings of a bird
embracingΒ
the crisp, fresh
morning air.Β
Oh, what it must be like to be you!
Patient
ResilientΒ
and just happy to be here.Β

So cool. I have thoughts like these when I'm exploring the woods, or my yard. But some days I am the destroyer LOL with a machete to keep some parts of my yard under control.
I was just lost in thought about this specific tree and couldnβt help but to personify it. I had my handy lil notebook to record my poetic thoughts. :)
