i am tall <br />i am straight <br />i am ' TREE <br />as i see my leaves falling to the ground <br />surrounding my trunk like a skirt. <br />my branches stretch to all four corners <br />north, south, east, west <br />and as they fall, i know then <br />that i am dying. <br /> <br />i stretch my head to the father sun <br />and scream for his strength. <br />and down to mother earth <br />to quench my thirst. <br /> <br />for hundreds of years, i have lived <br />and flourished with a beauty that <br />all mankind admires. <br />i then realized that it was' autumn.' <br /> <br />i am replenishing my life, <br />to enter a new one. <br />as my branches, which touch each point <br />north, south, east, west <br />so are the four seasons. <br /> <br />'i am ' tree <br />i live, i die, i revive. <br />my beauty like love is eternal <br />in the eyes of the beholder. <br /> <br />'I AM' TREE.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-tree-series-2/
