    the tree

       It stands graceful and tall; the light creating an image of a golden God. The evening light caressing it with such tenderness. I stand before it in awe and wonder at how such a massive creature could exist in such beauty and might.
       I say my final good byes as they ready their weapons gleaming with malace. The first blow comes and I feel its pain, I hear its cry but i can do nothing to stop the abominations happening to it; they say it must be done and i must not interfear.
       They continue their strikes until it gives a final groan and falls to the Earth. The deed is done, my love is gone.

    Beautifully written, and I love the imagery that it gives. Excellent, and a definitely a 10 from me. Tis a shame your poems have no more reads than they do, you are a truly talented writer.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
