Tree of Life - Forever Engraved

Tree of life "forever"engraved
in our hearts

The interconnections
of all things, life, death
and renewal

It's trunk sturdy in times
of darkness

It's branches reaching
outward and upward
seeking light

Balance and harmony
found when heaven and
earth kiss

May spring bloom love

    1. Thanks Dwight - it really was cool to see up close. It has 337 carvings of existing and extinct animals. Absolutely amazing.

  2. Truedessa, first time hearing of it. Googled it and got a closer look. Would love to go see it sometime.

    My favorite part of your poem:
    "Balance and harmony
    found when heaven and
    earth kiss"

    1. Thanks Sherry, my favorite was a giant hawk in the tree. It makes one pause and contemplate the beauty of all earth’s creatures.

  6. As you know, I love trees, Truedessa, but I hadn’t heard of the tree of life. An amazing tree, and I love how you captured it in your quadrille. I especially love the lines:
    ‘Balance and harmony
    found when heaven and
    earth kiss’.

  7. Trees are family. Having been engraved with legends and images and wildlife maintains a sense of wonder.

  8. I've seen the tree. Cool park although it's a bit of an overpriced zoo.

    1. The tree is at the Animal Kingdom park. So, I guess that park isn't as popular at the other parks.
