Poetry For Everyday People
Nature's Lessons
Trees sacrifice
their leaves
in the fall
to take on
winter
bare
it's a form
of conquering
training
growing
taking time on
with grace
elegance
strength
I love trees
the most
in the winter
and I think
of all the people
ashamed of their looks
their exteriors
need to lose weight
hate my body
don't dare to go out
without make-up on
don't dare to go
to the beach
we have eyes
that see
this miracle in progress
hands, arms, legs, feet,
lips, ears, brains, hearts,
we have this amazing
body
this sophisticated
machine with limitless
potential
yet somehow
we're worried
about our nose
being too big
lips too thin
stomach too fat
breasts too small
make-up make-up
trees shed their leaves
and winter is when
they are
most beautiful
bare.
