We are a double tree,
two seeds growing as one,
branches entwined
reaching the sky,
inhaling light.
Our roots
strong and deep
crushing
mountain’s stone
older than eons,
leaving fresh,
confined water
to sing a song
of nature,
to sprinkle.
Luminescent with sun
to flow free.

I liked the extended metaphor of the trees that you have used in this poem -the roots entwined as one. This poem shows a wealth of imagination and your imagery is stunning. A poem that speaks of human love and growth. Best of luck in the contest.

Loved the image/metaphor of a double tree and the roots embedded in solid rock...yes, that is how love is. Beautiful, soft-spoken poetry that glows and glows.

There actually is (or was, we've had so many bad storms) such a tree, right here where I live. Two trees rising from the soil, coiling around the other with such tender beauty. You've captured the contest prompt quite well, my Friend. Good luck in the contest.
