Beneath the Tree of Life (Sonnet)

By Munda

 

Beneath the tree of life I lay my head;

While lost in tranquil feel of Life’s embrace,

The leaves of past and present well imbed,

And future gently covers up my face.

A memory escapes in silent squall

The hidden depths of what my heart conceals;

But yesterday’s reflections can’t enthral,

The daily blithefulness that life reveals.

With dewdrop tears I bid farewell to past,

For future will bestow leaves from above;

Astonished comprehension at long last;

At least I’ve known the beauty of true love.

While lost in tranquil feel of Life’s embrace,

Beneath the tree of life I rest my case.
