MOVE ME POETRY — A POETRY COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER
Darkness
We are like two trees
standing centuries apart
sharing the same moon
sighing together each dawn
drenched by summer rains
trembling as our leaves fall
winter strips us bare
and wind gives rise to our song
darkness cloaks us both
and our branches can’t quite reach
but deep underground
we have sought each other out
our roots entangled
no beginning and no end
like secret lovers
clinging fast to each other
in the dark and the shadows
