my path ahead
is filled with lifeless trees
staring into oblivion.
i move forward
not knowing where i end up eventually.
the skeletons of the trees
— are they guiding me somewhere?
or steering me to something dreadful?
do they represent
the nightmares i try to run away from
or the spring of hope that could appear in the distant future?
my journey continues, despite
the eluding answers
for now, i will find contentment
in pursuing this journey that leads to nowhere.
Joining Parul’s #ThursdayTreeLove with this tree shot from Salt Lake River in Mesa, Arizona. We hiked this area in the last weekend of February –and it was a wonderful experience. Some trees resembled the ghosts of their past. What stories are they hiding? I wonder. The above verses are a figment of my imagination. I hope you enjoy this read.

Bare trees do bring about all kinds of thoughts. They are also a thing of beauty. 🙂
I love that photograph, Vinitha! ❤

The nice part of this journey is that these trees may not be dead, just dormant. Imagine coming back in late March or April and seeing them burst into life. At that point they truly will symbolize hope. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot

Wonderful words! I am sure the trees lead .. “the spring of hope that could appear in the distant future?.”
