roots lie buried with all their hidden needs
softly covered are all the leaves
they have lived, and fallen, and now they sleep
and the trees?
oh, the trees...
stripped bare and exposed
like a poet's honest prose
giving no excuses
as their branches bleed
withstanding the elements
they are a woman wild and free
her arms extended
and a heart for all to see
"The most personal is the most creative."*
so it takes some bravery
the words stand stark upon the screen
before any that dare to read
the winds blow, and yes it's cold,
and even still, i give you me
- Les'Nspired
*Martin Scorsese
