Resin

Reject what you don't want. Get rid of dead wood. Daryl Hall

Signs don’t lie

just as the rings

that describe the hardwood

of my soul

 

I’m reading them within

while the resin

escapes from my heart

 

slowly

 

finds

 

his

 

way

 

outside

 

some day, I know,

I will be stronger

then the twig that

bows in the wind.

It's almost an extended haiku in tone and subject matter. As a rule, I am not a fan of short and one-word stanzas, because all too often they are done for no useful reason; fortunately, this piece serves as an example of how and why it's done. Awfully fine piece of work.
