Growth
Twisted, gnarled branches
Entwined in growth’s embrace
Supporting one another
In their small shared space
Like these trees are people
Supporting independence
When we’re little children
We need a mentor’s guidance
And when we learn a skill
We don’t learn alone
We help each other daily
Even when we’re blown
Over by the storms
We weather every day
It’s support which helps
Grow in any way.
So don’t say it’s only you
Even if it may feel bleak
While together we are many
Alone we become weak.
There’s always someone out there
You can lend a hand
Don’t toss aside support
When you can make a friend
This visual prompt fascinated me. I like what you’ve done with it! The overall message that we are better together speaks to me. The first two lines paint a vivid picture of gnarled branches (the old, wise ones) giving support and helping the younger ones grow.
My interpretation!
