Chapter 14 of 125

Split Tree Trunks

[ p o e t r y 2]100 words~1 min read

Trees can be replanted.

Buildings can be rebuilt.

Appetites will return.

And time will heal all wounds.

Yet, as I look at splinters of the fractured trees,

Their roots still in the ground.

Their trunks lying mangled by their side,

I can't help but to think about how some things -trees, history, and relationships -

Split for good,

and are never quite the same again.

Yet, despite the split,

I have hope that life goes on

And somehow, someway, it will all be okay.

Foundations can be rebuilt

Or foundations can be replaced.

Regardless, faith remains and hope endures.
