The Tree Stands Naked The tree stands naked,
Stripped of its beauty
And I stand lonely
Stripped of understanding.
Just as the wind has taken from the tree,
You, my friend, have taken from my heart.
It was taken easily;
But you'll find it hard to return.

Your lovely poem complements the wonderful photo Carletta. Delightful post today.
Very artistic - the contrast between the fine lines of the tree and the sky is just lovely.
The quotatio/poem is just so fitting!

The clouds, the sky, through the branches---beautiful. MB
Oh what a twisty turn to a "P"! And yet ONE MORE thing we have in common! I write poetry too! More years ago than today - but occasionally I still pull one out! Nicely done m'dear!
More and more, I find myself on the lookout for shots of bare branches against clouds and sky. Well done, I really love this shot. :::applause::: Also, thank you for dropping by earlier this week. We all love comments!
