Timber

I wrote a poem about a pine tree 

drooping under the weight of snow.

I was meant to paint a picture of 

a burden I've carried for a while.

Trees die, 

my burden has too.

Maybe should cut down 

the tree, and warm by the fire.

Cutting away the problem is easy, but you'll also find that in time those burdens disappear or are less weighty. Come spring the snow will melt, new leaves will bloom. Birds will visit. The sun will shine. And you appreciate it all the more.
Anyway, was trying for a positive spin. The poem is great. Leave the tree as a reminder.

In light of it all a positive spin is certainly the most responsible approach... after all, trees give us reason to breathe.

wish it would be that easy to alleviate burdens...cut down the tree that is oppressing us.
i really like the allegory here, Cory.

Cutting down the core of the problem is always helpful, and wise.

It certainly pares the chance of leaves.
