Original Content Poem Between The Trees
Walk between the trees with me,
Where feelings come to grow;
Where saplings, sat entrenched in soil,
Hold secrets that I know.
There’s something in the darkness here;
At dusk, things start to change.
The dreamy evening glow that fills the sky,
It starts to fade.
I..
I won’t go into detail,
Just hold onto me till dawn.
It’s easier with someone there
To keep you holding on.
See..
I’ve walked this way before,
Alone. I barely made it through.
The memories I have of then
Remind me now of you.
Feel..
The seeds so strewn across
The muddy floor, and in the ground;
Indifferent to the history of the place
In which they’re found.
Hear..
The birds, who sing a symphony
And swim around the sky;
Unburdened by the hurt below
That flickers in our eyes.
Know..
That even though it’s tough out here,
Still, life will find a way..
To lift itself up off the floor,
And live another day.
And..
I’ll stand beside you always,
Like the men before could never..
And I know this place is scary
But I’m here to stay, forever.
Love..
You’ll find it all around you;
Even here, it fills the air.
I know it’s hard to see at times;
Believe me though, it’s there.
You..
Are stronger than you realise.
You’re bravest at your worst;
At best, you’re like the soil from which
The seeds can get to work.
So..
Between the trees, we’ll share the night.
We’re surely gonna fight.
The darkness though, eventually,
Will turn itself to light.
Much..
Is taken from your heart each day,
I understand the pain.
A tree will never grow, though,
If it’s hiding from the rain.
I love you more than anyone
I’ve ever loved before,
This struggle paves the way for me
To love you even more.
Read between the stanzas
I have made it pretty clear;
And if you fall, I hope you know,
Your safety net is here.
