Tree of Life

Missing image

Christmas tree,

towers over all humanity

lighting up the soul,

only for a moment.

 

Unable to reach peace,

changes its colors,

foul branches rage,

madness, bedlam.

 

Becomes the cross,

mirror of His sky

above religious wars,

in the name of God.

 

Death inscribed upon

The Tree of Life,

And drops of blood

In grace were shed.

    This Is A Hard-Hitter

    Makes me for one think of how on this day many can count their blessings, while others will kill for more and more, and more.. How I wish the Christams spirit of giving instead of being a taker would last the whole year through. I enjoyed this, and it makes me ponder upon how far we have to go, but to go anywhere good, we must change the course.

    Love ya sis, your bro, Timothy
