Tree Soul

Teddy.15

 

 

As I reflect on what a tree means to me

I reflect on its leaves

and how they can dance in the soft wind

and blow away with a force

changing colour with each magnificent season 

and then die so gracefully 

I reflect on how it's roots are alive underground

moist soil and pitch black darkness

keeping them in continuous rebirth of beauty

until the day they themselves lose their soul.

    I love nature and I love trees. They are more like us than we would like to admit and in this poem it is evident that there is a metaphor that likens them to us. Our leaves turn in winds and fall as well and our roots too one day will see their end. A marvelous analogy.

        Teddy, this piece feels like a prayer whispered to the forest. It’s meditative and full of gratitude...a reflection not just on trees, but on endurance and gentle surrender. 🌹🖤🙏 🕯️🐦‍⬛ Love this my dear friend! Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

          am surrounded by trees here in my 2nd floor flat, and how sad sometimes I never see them for the what they really are.
          tall, strong, beautiful in every way.
          this will remind how lucky I am Teddy;
          thank you x

            I relate to trees in the sense that I, too, grow in pitch black darkness. Lovely poem 🤍

              But each time they die they arise again into their beautiful world Teddy.

                beautiful poem.. loved the way you have talked about it, and its rebirth - but i beg to disagree - it's soul like ours may not be lost, but still live on, who knows?

                • Teddy.15

                  Good morning dear NafisaSB The soul of a person yes, I believe it lives on, the soul of a tree, well at least where I live, once it's gone it's gone. thank you ❤️
