A black and white tree

The sun came out, the sky was blue, I took a walk
and looked at you.
What happened next, I couldn’t explain
but I suspect it was done by the recent rain
A tree, standing all by itself, wet, twisted and empty of green ...
with a space of solitude around it
A twisted trunk, scarred yet recognized to be one of a kind
as it stood out among the others down the lane
I felt myself feel calm and not insane
But as I gazed, I saw even much more than before
as it became just a tree in black and white
I saw my life as it was, standing alone, tall and twisted, yet empty of green and life like it was meant to be
no longer hiding in the darkness but in the full view of the light

(Make it fit whatever you need in life)
