Old cedar tree
twisted branches reaching to the sun
bark hairy
leaves prickly
shelter
some branches broken by
the heavy snows of the past
others able to withstand
even though pushed to the ground
by the weight.
Am I like this tree?
old and some parts
beginning to twist
a bit disheveled at times
parts prickly
but also providing shelter
sometimes pushed to the ground
by the weight of burdens,
but then rising up when they melt away.
The tree just has to be a tree,
I only have to be me.
