Tree of Life's Memories
Theres' a tree here before me, I feel it cahllenging me to climb.
It's a sprirtual tree that I've sought out, the one within my mind.
My tree has many branches, some sturdy, some quite frail.
Each one maps my journey, within each one tells a tale.
Of the places that I've been, of the many things I've seen.
All my life's ups and downs, and the details in between.
Though this quest for calmness may not be the greatest of ease.
Before I begin, I'll pray for safety in the grass here on my knees.
I'm excited about the journey and the visions that awiat.
I begin with much anticipation, and a most emotional state.
With each and every step I take, I feel I'm getting closer.
Departing from some of my mistakes, and possible finding closure.
In climbing this fragile tree of life, so many momories do arise.
Some are good, some not so pleasant, I must take them all in stride.
I musn't let them control me, for they are no longer real.
Memories are just memories, but it's my youth that they did steal.
They've made who I am, they're just pieces of the puzzle.
I wouldn't change a leaf or branch in the memory of life's stuggles.
As I contiunue on this journey, sonbirds sing within their nest.
I pause for just a monent, and my soul could use the rest.
This emotional journey is draining, yet cleansing all the same.
In reaching the top I do believe, I'll find the serenity I must claim.
There are angels by my side, helping to guide my every step.
Helping me to come to terms with painful memories that I've kept.
My soul has been cleansed, I'm free as a bird, as I have conquered this climb at last.
With painful memories put in their proper place, I'm free to fly away from the pain of my past.
