Tree Poem by Reshad Scott

It cast over you like a shadow,
The comfort and feeling of never being alone.
Roots that stretch down to the core of the earth,
Only to seek warmth from the core inside it.
It spreads its arms to the sky, releasing its true beauty from its tips.
Leaves that blossom with vibrant colors, only to fall in the change of time.
I comfort you as you comfort me, my old friend.
The tree that started life.
As I sway with the wind you sway,
As for we are connected at the roots.
