Children of the Sycamore tree

 

 

Warrior, rebel or meek

rooted within each

is a tree of life, pulsing

mortality and breathing destiny.


The bleeding

of the Sycamore tree

is more than distant memories.

For once upon a time,

in the veins of mankind,

courageous souls willingly bled

tears of persecuted dreams

for you....for me...heirs of iniquity.

 

What are we,

but breathing, living, seeds

fulfilling their hopes and dreams.

 

Do we deny in moments

of solitutude or suffering

the echoes of a gentle plead;

do not give up, live, struggle boldly for your life.

 

Blessed be the questions,

suffering and journey

of Warrior, Rebel or meek

pulsing our hearts instinctually.

Boldly freed, rooted deep,

mighty seed are we,

Children of the Sycamore tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 

 


 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Author notes

Contest prompt: What do you have to say to the Cynic?

reference: Children of the sycamore tree...represents all beliefs united
together in agreement, just like our flesh, spirit, soul and hearts...and
bloodveins an alpha and omega understanding

It is sad don't you think, that we do not have alpha and omega sight,
beginning and end, for many it would add a lot of strength to the journeys
that we face and boldly lay ahead.
Consider our DNA...has been alive for many centuries and generations,
passed down from Father to Son, and Mother to daughter,
wouldn't it be lovely to hear each of their brave and bold stories speak.

    "rooted within each
    is a tree of life, pulsing
    mortality and breathing destiny.... "
    and
    "What are we,
    but breathing, living, seeds
    fulfilling their hopes and dreams..."
    are excellent.
    This is an exceptionally logical and coherrent poem encouraging the cynical to be optimistic by reason

    The flow was superb,you have a natural and conversational voice, I can tell that thought was put into this and that is something I can really appreciate. Flawless diction. I am actually studying the tree of life diagram right now, so it was very interesting for me to see it used so well in a poem.
