Calls you
In the night
In the darkest night
Of this winter
Endless winter
In the forest
You recognize instantly
The call of this tree
You know this tree
As if you grew
Together
And somehow
You both did
Grow together,
Even though far away
From each other
For too long
After the war end
Grow together
Closer than brothers
It calls you now
Because it’s time
To give you
All the secrets
You must know
To keep moving on
Your sacred path
It is showing you
Its true face
Its magical nature
And all its powers
To change nature
And the world alike
It calls you and you go
I really like this.
Thanks a lot, it means a lot to me
How beautiful is the soul of the poet when it finds a kindred soul in a stoic feature.
Exceptionally beautiful poem… I love trees…
Thank you Sara and Ant, really appreciated
This is a beautiful topic Vincent. I loved the poem and thought it moved well except for the one stanza that talks about war…I got a little lost here. I loved your personification of the tree calling you-lovely! In particular, I love the last 2 stanzas, “To give you all the secrets that you must know to keep you on your sacred path.” This is a very lovely poem! Great work!
