Uncle Coconut Tree Poem by Aufie Zophy

Uncle Coconut Tree

Rating: 5.0


In Pocahontes' wonderful story
One passage stands out in glory:
Grandmother Willow, so wise
Gave to Pocahontes advice:
Follow your heart, she said
The best advice, ever to get

How i wish i had an old coconut tree
Who, like the willow, 'd talk to me
But when on the beach I close my eyes
My mind gets filled with words of wise
It feels like the wind brings them to me
Or perhaps it comes from my good old tree?

The universe seems to feed and nurture
Our soul when we reflect in nature
When you get then an original thought
It feels like communication with our God

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
new version of old poem; If you did not read the book or see the movie Pocahontes, i really recommend you to do so. Look out for the passage where a very old willow tree starts to talk and Pocahontes calls her grandmother willow.

I was initially attracted by the title of this poem, for I love coconut oil: it keeps my face hydrated, and delays the wrinkles :) I very much enjoyed reading it!
