wishing leaves

Writing my wishes on the leaves of this growing tree.

Hoping these words find a home and never escape me.

Her limbs stretching beyond where I cannot see.

Her roots extending deep beneath as she wraps her life entangling everything which can and will be.

Touching heaven and holding hell, she surrounds each end with her might and absolute delicacy.

Wow, this is beautiful and a great way to describe a tree. But I like how there is also that story aspect of it with the wishes written on the leaves. I especially love the last two lines of this poem.
