FAMILY TREE

We are rich in blood
winds tug on a  family tree
life embraces undeniably
water and soil abundant with love

sun shines yet the
Leaves still fall...

absently you shrug
and lose kindly
love walks you blindly
in a death of brotherly love

longhorns buried deep
Sun gives branches no warmth...

I am branded by tongue lashes
from speak evils you invoke,
fire in breath, dragon in smoke

Bark has been singed...

your future will beckon my return
when the blood is dry
And the heart has burned

Winter has hands like death...

Wow, this is great. It has a unique rythym, and the wording is perfect and relatable. We choose our friends, not our family. A wonderful piece.

A poem with truth in the words. Blood should bring people together and create strength. Sometime unkind words can lead us away and we can't return. The poem had a sad tone and the ending can be the end. Thank you for the outstanding poem. Made me think this evening.
