The Tree Of Life Has Fallen Poem by Alice Walker
The Tree Of Life Has Fallen
The tree of life
has fallen on my small house.
I thought it was so much bigger!
But it is not.
There in the distance I see the mountains
still.
The view of vast water stretching before me
is superb.
My boat is grand and I still command the captain
of it; not having learned myself to sail.
But I am adrift
without my tree of life
that has fallen heavy
without grace or pity
on this small place.
For the departing dictator, in perpetuity.
This excellent poem of the great poetess Alice Walker is laden and layered. Full of metaphors, which each reader will interprete to his/her own view, that's why poems make it all so very interesting and immortal.
