Day 7- Take a walk until you find a
tree you identify with, then write a poem using the tree as a metaphor
for yourself or your life.
tree you identify with, then write a poem using the tree as a metaphor
for yourself or your life.
To the stump in my garden that has begun to sprout
Mere days after its branches have been shorn:
Teach me whatever lessons you have learned
How to give thanks for your still solid roots
And how to recalibrate the hardened fibres of your bark
And make life once more.
