Tree Of Life

Poetry

A Concrete and Glass Poetry Collection poem

This is the second part of a 2 part poetry collection. The first part is all about beauty and nature, which you can find in the Poetry section of Inkslinger Magazine (it starts with The Maple Leaf and ends with Phoenix). This collection is the flipside of the coin and is all about the darker, scarier aspects of humanity, life and the world we live in — starting with The Darkest Hour and the final poem is called Under Starry Skies.

Bridging three worlds,

the strong and ancient tree

Its roots stretch far

Into the dark underworld

Its trunk thrusts through

Our serene and earthly plane

Its branches strain

Upwards into the heavens
