Alright, everybody. Take it easy on me, Im not exactly in the business of writing poetry. At least not yet! ;) Maybe one of you can help me come up with a title? Alone in the forest I stand as a tree My branches reach up to the sky Higher and higher, so strong my desire To take wing with the birds and fly But hidden beneath me are roots that grow deep To this same patch of ground I am cursed Spending eternity locked in one place Just to quench my insatiable thirst To make matters worse, the winds blowing colder My leaves soon will wither and die My friends will desert me and seek warmth and refuge And its not very hard to see why How lonely the winters of life can be! Such a crippling and wretched despair Fatigue, fear and sorrow, death and decay... Are feelings Id rather not share In solitude I wept for the world as a whole And resolved then to do what I could To take what remained of my heart, soul, and spirit And build something worthwhile and good And passionately I prayed and I pondered What shall I do? How, why and when? And patiently waited for winter to pass For soon it would be spring again Slowly but surely the ice melts away The buds turn to blossoms once more The birds and the bees are singing a song One that Ive never heard before And so I continue to live, love, and grow While remembering the times that have past Each new spring brings more peace, joy, and laughter Each new winter less cold than the last :)
