A Teacher’s Tree

Posted on June 8, 2008 by Don Iannone

A tree stands alone
Without notice, reaching out
Touching you, me, so much beyond
Hear its song–
Not so lonely
Watch its breath
Rooted, yet free
Stretched out–
Like the crimson horizon at sunset
A sign, perhaps–
Live each day in fullness

Inspired by this.
