Day 13 - Hugging a tree

13th Oct 2019

Hugging a tree?

We're on Day 13 of the OctPoWriMo challenge. I'm afraid the prompt, "Hugging a Tree" didn't do anything for me today.
So, what to post instead? OK, here goes: I have tried a Loop poem today . 

The Wood of the Tree.

Who, I wonder cut down the tree 

from where it lived 

lived in harmony with the others

until that day 

day and night it was kept in some 

place waiting

waiting for the time it was needed

its task to perform

perform it did the most perverse deed

of all time

time was getting near, they brought 

out the man

man above all men, he did not speak 

he took it

it was the cross that Jesus embraced 

for us, with love 

love brought him to his knees three

times in fell

fell in pain and sorrow with the weight 

of our sins

sins that we now feel our own deep 

sorrow for

for as surely as we are sinners we nailed

him to that tree.
