Like a Tree   vcl2014
                                                             

Beneath this tree I stand
Rooted by circumstance
In the here and now.
I write of frivolous things
The sun and sea,
The warm kisses of children
Love gained and lost
Sometimes a prisoner
Longing to escape
The forest of discontent
But now envisioning a state
Of peaceful happiness
With the seedlings planted
Around me, words
Forming deep roots of their own
Growing gracefully
To hide and protect me
                                                                When my days are done.
