Poetry: Trees

by Gabe Willows

Tiny Tree

There was a branch that stood amongst the trees.

It was amongst the weaker ones that came from seed.

The mighty wind blew it's hush

Throughout the majestic under brush

The branch stood fast with all it's might

As the wind blew through that breezy night.

But still the branch stood it's ground

While the wind continued to howl around.

Then when Dawn lit of the sky

Dawn heard a tiny cry

At long last it had fallen down

And was resting peacefully on the ground

It had not withstood the might wind

and it cried out to Dawn " let me try again."

With love and compassion Dawn bent down

And picked up the branch from the ground

She replanted it in its place

And wiped the tears from it's narrow face.

"Again you shall sway my tiny tree

In the loving winds majesty."
