A Branch

I am a small branch

on a beautifully broken tree.

A small piece of the picture

is all I will ever be.

I am not my own.

I need others to grow.

I wonder when my holder

will finally let me go.

As time passes by

I am left alone.

My leaves fall away

like everyone I have known

(Ever)

But other branches have fallen

and new branches have appeared.

I am no longer the lonely branch

that I had once feared.

As the sun rises

in the sky so new

I see the beauty in life

and everything true.

This is a favorite. I like your view on branches. We do need others to help us grow, we can't do all by ourselves. This also reminds me of a favorite quote it says "Maybe you are searching among the branches for what only appears in the roots" Beautiful poem with deep meaning.

Wow, thank you!! I didn't really know how to end this one. I'm so glad you could understand what I was trying to say!

I really enjoyed the imagery in your poem. Nature pieces are some of my favs and you captured her beauty well

Thank you! I'm pretty new at this whole writing thing, so your input seriously means a lot! Nature is my favorite thing to write about, but I don't have the motivation most of the time.

I find that surprising, to be a new writer and able to capture and convey a message like that. Hold on to your inspiration it must be special. Writing and motivation are oil and water lol
