Feeling way more than a bit of own sap
Barrier layers ring over years pass
There’s a heart inside
Could be one’s chest
Sprung from earth mantle
Cascading green light rests
Hello Adam, the picture of the tree, an oak I think, makes me want to be young again and climb it. I use to climb one just like it when I was growing up, lived in that tree. It looks like two trees that grew together. Your poem surely does do it justice. Beautiful words my friend.
My husband came home from the hospital last night, to finish recovering at home. So I will be taking care of him until he is back on his feet doing for himself again.
LOL. That may be the perfect tree for it. Also, I think that would make an awesome special effects tree where faces emerge from the bark. Have a great week, Dennis
The barriers that we construct because of past experiences do shield our heart..removing those barriers is far more difficutl than cutting down the tree…enjoyed thinking about your poem…loved the photograph also.
I think my shield is beginning to dissolve… Wise words, Charles. Glad you like the photo. Shot that in raw mode. Took a few interesting pics this weekend.
Thanks
Taking photos has become a relaxing hobby for me. Perhaps that influences the process. Thanks, Doraz. A good Monday thus far. Hope your week goes great too! 🙂
Trisha, it’s been a lot of fun taking photos once I learned how to adjust the settings on my camera. Whew…before that, it was difficult taking any decent shots. But now a it’s relaxing hobby, and even prompts writing. Thanks for the compliment on my photographs. Made my day 🙂
Lovely work there Adam. I’m sure if trees could speak they’d tell a tale or two. I’ve also come to the conclusion that I’m inedequate with a camera!! Nice Spring like feeling to the photograph here.
Thanks, Shan. If trees could speak… hmm… might be loud considering their bark. lol Okay, that was really bad. I admit. Anyhow, took me about 2 years to become comfortable using my camera; and for every good shot, I still take plenty of bad exposures in estimating what settings work best 🙂
Keep taking pics!

I can’t help but mentally add a tire swing to that picture.

Lovely, tree and words….forget the tire swing and bring on the swinging hammock!
May 17, 2010 at 12:08 pm
LOL. That would be nice. It’s a great spot to sit and chill. A hammock there would be awesome 🙂
