I took a walk on Saturday with a lovely lady. I think she out classed me considerably. She was fun to be with and during our walk she saw a tree and asked if it was one tree, or two trees grown together. It was hard to tell that but it caused me considerable metaphorical contemplation afterwards so I will pose this same question to you all...
Twin trunks rose from deep within the earth
roots of two trees had intermingled
since the acorns had fallen long ago
From the decaying corpse of each
had sprung new life
Each had sipped the moisture of the same spring rains
and had felt the winds of every winter storm
She asked if it was "one or two?"
How could anyone really know for sure?
Roots had been entwined for decades
until the trunk was but one tree
Could love grow people just the same?
Could two become as "one" so much
that no-one could know the one
without seeing the other?
Lace your fingers between mine
and begin to understand.
Enclose yourself within
the envelope of my embrace
and just imagine if it could be...
One or two?
