The Forest
What is at the root of a poet's tree?
Does it have fertile soil to grow healthy and strong
Are its seasons harse with extreme heat and fridgid cold
Does it see more darkness than light
Or did fate see that it would flourish through a constant kiss of radiation to move it to purpose
To give it the notion to occupy its space to the fullest
Showing its beauty and radiance of its father through its blossoms and fruit
Casting shadows of purpose to have no other be as great if they are to grow under it
What is beauty without resilience through the darkest seasons of life marked by the scars that have shifted direction of growth, with every motion, a dance upon the earth

"poet's tree" is beautiful imagery. I was not trying for a rhyme. The more I read this, the more I like it.
