A Solitary Tree Stands
By: James Dubeau
A solitary tree stands
Off in the distance
Brown
Dead
Grandfather
To the life of late spring
Even in death
He stands mighty
Against wind
And weather
And time
Proving how strong
He was in life
Tornado bearing storms
Were not enough
To bring him
Crashing down
He stands
Strong
Tall
A monument
To be revered
By all who pass

Lovely poem. I knew a tree like that in Muncie IN (which is where I knew Glynnis K).
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading. :) This poem was about a tree I saw while out on a walk with Ms. Glynis. It struck my fancy so much that I had to write about it.
