Heartwood Poem by Bill Cantrell

Heartwood

Rating: 5.0


Euphoric is the reward of my reach
Tasting the light, oh so sweet
Touching the face of what man cannot see,
Is the joy of my days, short though they be

Under my boughs the children played
Shelter for them, I proved to be
I now cast my seeds in the streams of the wind
To carry on long after me

Let no one be sad at the sound of my fall
I'm just laying down in times bed
Though I still stood erect many years without leaves
The fact of the matter, I have long been dead

Yet, euphoric was the reward of my reach

Euphoria is teasing light and giving a sweet poetic mood and nice sensation to feel. Under this twilight no one should be sad. All should remain very happy always. This is very nice to know that euphoria is reward to your reach. This is an outstanding poem very well penned....10
