Tree Stands Alone

In the center of riparian forest

grows a tree put there for us

tall as can be and all alone

lushest leaves on which is grown

the sweetest fruit ever known

the allure of which to us is shown,

Branches reach, so tall, so strong

which we can see, so broad, so long.

I'll never know the arm's embrace.

A tree's a tree and stays in place.

I like this a lot. Seeing and wanting, but just knowing...one unique tree stands alone amongst others surronding, specially planted there, staying firmly in place, drawn to it but you can't touch it, although attracted to the fruit it offers.
