Emotions

Hatred and Jealousy lying hand in hand
Like the vines hung on the ancient trees of old
Where no other emotion can be portrayed
Because none have ever quite been told

Others may come and go
Bringing some joy or love
But all is lost within the roots
Of the ancient trees of old

For the others become lost and confused
Not knowing which way is back to their world of peace
And all the frustration and anxiety feed the ancient trees of old
Filling it's leaves with all the hatred of the world

A world from which no one can escape

Even if they try with their whole being

For nothing can elude the immense grasp

Of the ancient trees of old

 Within the forest happiness and sadness become one and the same

Nothing ever seems to differ

And nothing does compare to the prodigious branches that reach toward the heavens

Connected to the once great standing ancient trees of old

    emotions is right, so powerful. so intense. I love it, especially here:

    Hatred and Jealousy lying hand in hand
    Like the vines hung on the ancient trees of old
    Where no other emotion can be portrayed
    Because none have ever quite been told
