An evocative poem about a wise old tree by Dr Supatra – exclusively for Different Truths.
We’ll hold each other The wise old tree And the ebullient house Full of stories and music We’ll twine around And clasp one other Till time’s end The house Of rhymes and rhythm Laughter and banter The tree Resolute and protective Trapping light Creating artistry On the fading walls Of its companion Making symphony Together… Seasons passed And stories changed Silence loomed As shadows Engulfing… Only the leaves Rustled And whispered We’ll remain thus Till time ends Clinging This earth Our very own Our common Bondage…
