 My today's thoughts

VINES AND TRUNK  


  

 


VINES AND TRUNK    

Vines creeped and worked their way
around the trunk of a dead tree which was the color of gray

Over time the vines worked their way high
reaching for the sky

The tree trunk looked like an elephant at first glance
tangled in lush green leaves and vines doing a wind dance

It seemed the elephant's trunk was raised
 ready to make trumpet notes of praise

But it was only a dead tree the color of gray
with vines creeping skyward on their way
