There’s a weird tree growing outside of Riedlingen, so I wrote a poem about it. Chris and Emily told me I wouldn’t embarrass myself if I posted it on the internet.
Blessed is the one
who is planted by
streams of water
Made for the island
some seeds were stolen
planted in darkness
Meant to be more
celebrating life and growth
Symbol of Unity
Rerooted in the forest
you were landlocked instead
still growing tall
Where others meant harm
your roots grew deep
as nature intended
When were you infected?
What did they do?
Innocence was lost.
It’s not your fault
you can be redeemed
seasons are changing
Send your roots deeper
they will be cleaned
Symbol of Hope
