ALONE -The lone tree

I wandered all along - till I came upon a lone tree. Prompted in part by a poem I recently read on here ...'The Tree'

                        ALONE The lone tree

Alone I stand on the river bank of

        Llyn Padarn ...

             no one there but me.

I stood secure as rivers converge round me.

Low clouds drift slowly past, as high as can be.

Lazily I view blue skies and think of the scene I am

       a part of, in this fair land...                

            hills and valleys they be grand!

As waters wash my stable roots, I share the 

         sustenance it affords me.

Let all the people behold the strength and

          beauty around me.

Let all know the pride I feel, though all alone

in a country so beautiful and free!

                       ******

Pon the bank I stood so tall ~ so free

and through my branches I could see a land

        that means so much to me ...

the greenest grass and skies so blue ...

           and flowers of the brightest hue.

My muse is trying her best to get me on the writers trail. Being coaxed to divert.

oh i like where your muse is going these past few pieces...

and this...from the perspective of a tree...i have often stopped and looked at very old trees wondering if those trees can think and remember all that they have seen...
so many generations for some...like my favorite trees in Vermont in the Gutterson's yard.
they saw so many of our summers there, changed their maple leaves for fall and saw us running and jumping into those piles...
watched farmer's son after son grow and have sons of their own and the farms being handed down from generation to generation.
i could feel this one, deeply...

I read a piece on here then I glanced a lone tree on the TV that stood so firm on the banks where rivers met: tied the two together and came up with this piece. Thank you for a delightful review. Most appreciated!

I think your muse troubles you a lot Kit. It's 6 am in the Morning? Moreover on Sunday. Kit thats crime...

Good to see you on page once more. thanks. After I wrote that piece I was haunted by visuals of 'lone' trees even on holidays and even till today. It must bear some significance in my life! Oh, I tend to be prodded by my 'caring' muse any hour it pleases her. been down with the 'Lurgy' sine the year began but it seems to be worldwide. ?Germ warfare? Take good care of yourself now.

Ohh that's really bad to know about the lone haunted tree visuals. And please take and be safe from the viral and bad germs. Wishing & praying for your good health my dearest friend. Get well soon!

there is without doubt a feeling of isolation here amid a great expanse but a feeling of positive change forms, at least in my mind toward the end... Nicely poemed indeed... N

no more You are alone, no more the Tree is alone, You two became one, what a gorgeous poem dear Kitty, Your muse tried her best and did her best! I adore the Trees so this even ring more into me, I wish many people can be as aware as You are, that even if they are in pain or alone their heart is still open to the wonders around, they will miss something great when they don't, like here, that beautiful Tree the symbol of life, of living of a courageous spirit.

Many moons ago when I left High School I experienced a loneliness that has stayed with me. Thank you for appreciating this unique emotion and for your understanding of the symbolism of that tree. Have a great Sunday, my friend
