Tree Revisioned by Russ Seidel
The Word does act
By Loving; couth
Inside it’s seeds
The seeds of Truth
A’Proved by He
Good sympathy
By hand it draws
A plause, applause
So Deaf ears See
So Blind Eyes hear
Yet, Truth is know
By this action here:
Where right we bare
Their needed fruit
There hunger finds
The seeds of Truth
~Your Poet
This may be the last of the Your Poet poems that I saved from the Raleigh-Durham Missed Connections. The writing, and the corresponding painting, feel very relevant in this time of incredible pain, sadness, and anger. Let us all hope that those who have stayed deaf and blind for so long are able to acknowledge the seeds of truth and let a new, re-visioned tree spring from it.
