Beneath the hollow chestnut tree <br />that grows broken heart-shaped leaves <br />grows the broken stump of a dream, <br />the broken, broken stump <br />beneath the hollow chestnut tree. <br /> <br />Beneath the hollow chestnut tree <br />that grows teardrop-shaped seeds <br />an old man forever leans <br />trying to find peace where peace will never be <br />beneath the hollow chestnut tree. <br /> <br />Beneath the hollow chestnut tree <br />that grows empty heart-shaped leaves <br />sits an old diamond ring in broken little pieces <br />smashed to smithereens <br />beneath the never-trees <br /> <br />where there is never peace <br />beneath the hollow chestnut tree<br /><br />Kelly Zion<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beneath-the-hollow-chestnut-tree/
