I Fell From the Tree Again by ~007-Amalgamadora:icon007-Amalgamadora:



______________________________

I fell from the tree again.
That tree so cold with age,
so brittle, with daggers hanging
                                     and dripping;
it tries to carve its name below
as its branches bend and drag
beneath a merciless sky.

The wind carries a shroud,
that caresses the tree with splicing
comfort. It feels not like us,
                                     but confused -
its features sway from side to side
uprooting my balance;
            I fell from the tree again.

The ground is not so bad,
more stable than the decaying
expanse above. My peers join me
                                     in the name that we carved
resting peacefully beneath its arms,
oblivious to the fact that the clouds
            are not so merciless.

This reminds me of a reoccuring dream from my childhood. I climbed this tree every night, once a week, for almost six months. Everytime I got close to the top the branch would snap and I would tumble down, waking when I hit bottom.

The ground isn't so bad...it's a little unforgiving, though. :D

This is a beautiful poem. My house is surrounded by trees, many of which are looming old things with no bark, wrapped in grape vines thick as your leg. I've always been afraid of them, and this poem reminds me of them (in a good way!). :+fav:

Thank you for such a wonderful poem. :)
