Wailing soul,
echoes amongst the bark
Trapped with sadness
as tears flourish the roots of life.
Dreaming of freedom
from punishment of sins.
Echoing pleads sway in the wind
as nature becomes silent.
Enchanted by the pain
intrigued by the cries.
The mist fills the woods
like to comfort her anguish.
The night becomes cool
and the branches whisper.
The leafs embrace
her image with life.
Consoling the despair
of her trembling voice.
Wailing soul,
echoes amongst the bark

Very fitting words for the photograph (which I found very inspiring myself). I love poems that incorporate human feeling and senses into nature because, I guess, I feel like everything is intricately entwined and that, without the essence of nature we couldn't exist and would have little to be thankful for or appriciate.
Lovely write.
s and best wishes always... ~Genie~

This is simply amazing. You should have won GOLD, goddamit!
Haha, nevertheless this was marvellous. I loved your eloquent use of extensive vocabulary and the subject was brilliant. The picture fits very well - it's as if it was modified purposely for this sole poem. Did you make it?
Thanks for sharing this,
