Mind's Eye by Olobitat: 1:41pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
A beautiful flowering tree Blossoming all year round Frail and bare other trees stand in winter Remains alluring all seasons long Roots so deep, yet so tall Lush green leaves, succulent and bright Silky bed for the morning dew Every inch, a reflector of light Petals and sepals wide open Anther richly laden with pollen Glows in the sun, shimmers in a drizzle Still unchanged when the day is bleak Nectar-sucking birds and insects Travel from far and near Just to have a fill of its special elixir Yet its reservoir never runs dry Luscious fruits, a child’s delight It’s juice, a cure for the ailing heart It’s cool shade, a place of rest for a weary traveler Appeal so strong, too special to waste Its name I do not know After all it’s just an imagination But I’m so enthralled by the picture in my mind’s-eye That I’ve deduced… I wish for it to be me Standing firm through thick and thin Unaffected by the winds of emotion blowing fiercely Ever only in the presence of my God Beautiful within and without A large reservoir of wisdom embedded in my tongue A remarkable source of strength to the weak A glimmer of hope to the broken hearted Cc: Laykorn, Ishilove, Oma4U 2 Likes 1 Share |
