The Eternal Tree
Simply put: This is a poem of the wonderous and most beautiful TREE.
This poem is another concrete poem of mine, which means it was written to be in the shape of a tree. but, it seems RedBubble doesn’t hold the image, and places every line left, no matter what i try. I’m still new, maybe there is a way to format it so it holds its shape?
anyway, I thought I’d post it anyway, since i like it. :)

I have earth to ground me I have wind to move me I have fire to cleanse
My spirit I have rain to quench my thirst for growth
I have sun to enlighten me feed me I am my own mother
And an extension of the whole I am Earth wind
Rain sun fire I am as old as life and I am as young
As time I am shelter to those who seek me I am a bird I am the breath
Of the earth itself, and I am exactly where I want to be I am life
I am first and last the beginning and the end I am one from many
I am what I am I live I grow and I die. I am Reborn unto myself
I am the great circle,
My limbs know no
Boundaries my
leaves whisper
The one truth of
the whole through
Seasons changing
Colors that I wear
Upon my heart’s
Sleeve. I’m home
To Earth Mother’s
Melodious life; I
Sing for the whole
World to hear – trees
Are Earth Mother’s song,
Winding ‘round the shady
Globe…eyes of the world; song
Of the Mother; breath of the living, soul of the earth…

Kristin Reynolds replied
A switched on cookie, you say! Excellent, that’s exactly the image of myself I was going for. lol LOVE it! I’m so glad you liked it. it really is best to see the whole of it, but I suppose half a tree is better than none; philosohically and literally. :) Thank you, J-man lol swtiched on cookie…lol…love that, K

Wow, Kristin. This is exceptional!!!!!! You see things differently about objects, (especially in nature) so differently than I do. You see every detail, what it represents, what could have been it’s past, what it is in the present and what it will be or could be in the future. You see the symbolism in everything. And you did this perfectly with the tree from the beginning to the end. Next time I see a tree, I will appreciate it more. Love this. Love Iris
Kristin Reynolds replied
Aww, thank you, Iris. I appiciate you looking at this one. :)
I can only see things as I see them, and you as you do…and when the two come together, we learn from one another, and that is the beauty of life.
thank you, love, so much. :) love, K xoxox
