The Tangled Tree
Eighty-Four Pins is my first collection of Poetry available now! Order on www.amazon.co.uk
I wondered far,
I wondered loose,
In my bewilderment,
I got caught in its moose,
Its warped branches,
Its crucifying leaves,
I came upon this twisted tree,
That helped me to grieve,
In time it consumed my presence,
Magnified me in its grasp,
Held me in its tender arms,
But many questions it asked,
Its branches intertwined,
Woven like vines,
Twisted and turned me,
Like pages of a book,
Its leaves rustled,
Whispered a silent prayer,
An oasis in the rain,
As I touched its twisted trunk,
It felt my pain,
The churning of my stomach,
My intestine track,
Somehow it knew,
That I’d lost something,
That I could never get back,
Unbeknown to me,
It began to ease my sorrow,
It took away the pain,
As the tangled tree,
Wept for me,
Again and again,
Dedicated to Pratibha Savani
