a remnant's prayer

Tristan Robert Lange

why do i feel so
guilty
when I am
guilt-
 
free?
 
Lord have mercy,
a silent plea
 
made upon
the stump
of a forested
 
tree.
 
is this
what will be
left to see?
 
is this
what will
become of
 
me?
am i this tree?
 
Lord, have mercy.

    Great write Tristan. You put a lot of yourself into your work. That moves the reader which I think is what we all want, for our words to have the power to persuade, change minds, melt hearts.
