Tree of Life

Zachary Loyd 2004 (Topeka)

Free verse
Might the brown contrast with the green, the colors known

Though the beige past the surface, and the thoughts unknown

For what happens if I fall and you are not there?

Though the lines leading to my top is beautiful, and the lines on the green is too

Even though I give to all what they need

What happens if I fall and you're not around?
