Tree of Life
the tree of life
grows best in light,
and helps
to set your ways.
as each branch grows
new purpose shows
to guide you
through your days.
don’t miss a bud
or newborn leaf
that sprouts,
don’t pass them by;
for time is brief
and you will miss
their message
in disguise.
the tree of life
grows best in light,
while darkness
ends its stay.
new buds retract
and leaves refold,
and mortals
lose their way.
don’t linger
in the shadows long,
be strong,
don’t fail to try,
for darkness holds
while light unfolds
life’s gifts
to opened eyes.
