A Small Tree
Small tree not a sapling,
Broken and cut limbs.
A single robin sets
At the tip,
For it is home
Swaying back and forth.
The wind coming from the north.
The sad tree naked and vulnerable
Will never be mobile.
Unlike the robin that’s free.
It’s roots grow deep
As deep can be
Threw the red mulch
Which will be
An unwanted future
For this tree
The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
