ALONE.

Atop a rocky craig

Where moss

Would only grow

A lonely tree

Pushed roots

In barren ground.

ALONE.

 

ALONE.

The tree

Stood

Amid the gloom

Bereft of sun,

Wind and clouds

No comfort gave.

ALONE.

 

ALONE.

A flash of light

Erased the pall

The blessed strength

Of sun

Granted life

And hope anew.

ALONE NO MORE.

 

ALONE NO MORE.

Together

Blossoms grew

For Sun and Tree.

And all who saw

Were washed 

In Awe.

ALONE NO MORE.

 

ALONE NO MORE.

Tragedy and Travesty

Took sun away

The gloom returned.

The wilted tree

Now stands 

In longing grief.

ALONE.

 

ALONE.

With weeping boughs

That tree

Stands

A witness to

A soul filled

Life and love.

ALONE.

 

ALONE.

That tree must

Call again

Its' inner strength

To cast

The shadow

Of love and life for all.

ALONE.

 

ALONE.

All who hear

And all who see

Will know

Life and love

Because of

Sun and Tree.

 

ALONE...................NO MORE.

    We will have to comfort this tree and help it thrive and feel well again.

    Yes, I agree with skald.  We will have to prop it up and support it until time passes and it is stronger again.

    Haaaa Botty,
    The first time I had read it, I didn't understand too much.  But when you had read it yourself to me on the phone and explain the meaning, I realize that you were telling my story and cry.  You probably didn't notice through the phone.  I was especially sad at the end, because I still love 'B', even if he left already.  I am still on the shadow area of your poem, where I still love someone that I know that I will never see anymore, the one of all my dreams.  I am still not able to see me on the last part of your poem.  I still feel that I will betrayed 'B' if I reach that part.  My mind knows already that it will probably happen, but my heart resist strongly completing your poem.
    But until then, I am sufferring
