My Friend
On a walk to from the Inner Harbour around the winding pathway following the seacoast to the Seawall I came upon an interesting tree. From some perhaps it would evoke a memory of Twisted Sister, but not for me.
Instead it reminded me of a friend from days past. Quite a few days past. It kind of goes like this, well it does go like this:
My Friend
Standing naked before me
Gently waiving as if in greeting
Arms reaching toward the heavens
Soaring upward yet grounded are thee
To find more about my friend go here to My Friend. You may ask what it was that evoked this memory. Well it was this tree:
You likely know you can click on the image to make it bigger then come back using the back button. This was originally inspired by a tree in St Vital Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Trees, even the twisted ones, have a lot of character and many live longer than we humans. They are strong survivors and thrive in all kinds of inhospitable environments.
Down by the seawall the tide was out and I was able to take some closer pictures down the side. I found this to be another interesting sight.
There are more photos which I may post on another day.
Enjoy your day!
Cheers,
Gene

The poem is lovely, as is the tree! It looks like the Tree of Life.

Thanks Lydia. I guess they are all trees of life for the good they do the world breathing new life into old (smog) etc.

Whispering ‘secrets’ in the wind
I love your friend
I love to listen to my trees
Every day I thank them for the shade they give
Your poem reminds me of a book called ‘The Giving Tree’
Thanx Gene for sharing that potent poem
I’m looking forward to reading more

Thanks Maggie. There are more, after clicking at the top under poetry, just scroll down to the bottom of the poetry pages and go to the next one. It is under sub pages. But you likely know that!
