A tree grieves dewdrops fall from leaves, fallen rainbows
Bent boughs in mourning bows as morning grows
A heart of pith swells, from silent flowing wells drops of pain
Remorse pours out of pores as angry rain
Grey sky closes its eye at misty break of day
Cloud covers hide past lovers now so far away
Sunlight lost is the cost a rooted tree must pay
When steps from shade can not be made the price is decay

Well done,Soren,Your poem explores themes of loss, grief, and the passage of time through the metaphor of a tree, conveying profound emotional pain and mourning. The tree serves as a symbol of resilience in the face of sorrow and the inevitability of decay accompanying loss. The tree symbolizes the human heart and emotions, articulating the experience of grief and loss. This poem appears to be written from the perspective of a speaker who identifies with the tree, sharing its emotional journey. Your poem endeavors to capture the universal experience of grief and the impact of loss on one's emotional state, inviting the reader to reflect on their own experiences with sorrow and the passage of time.

Thanks so much Orchi for your read and comment it is always appreciated
Sad but beautiful. This is the cycle of life and it's beautiful in every way. Happiness, sadness, pain, life, death and decay. We just need to understand it.
Thank you so much Saleh for your read and interpretation it is most appreciated
This speaks of grief and uses what I imagined to be a Weeping Willow Tree as its metaphor. Powerful and true. Grief overrun, unchecked, can shade out any chance of life or growth, leading to decay. As I see it, psychological decay, physiological decay, and spiritual decay. On needs to find balance to have the ability to move from shade to light. Well done, my friend! A fave. 🖤🌹
Thank you so much for your review and interpretation Tristan. It is true that weeping is associated with grief that shades and at times grows roots that do not allow one to move on. Your words of support are most appreciated
Indeed. You are most welcome, my friend!
We are all able to step from the shade soren, that light will always be there for us all.
Andy
