Day 7

Take a walk until you find a tree you identify with, then write a poem using the tree as a metaphor for yourself or your life.

Dark and mysterious, a calling face.

Smooth and beautiful but firm in its place.

Mixed colors, a mixed race.

Distinctive features, for a unique soul;

Always ready to grow.

Showing a one of a kind glow,

after letting all the pain go.

An inner bark that’s ready to mature,

Finally found it’s cure.

Eucalyptus me. Ready to be set free.
