I made this metaphor from an automatic metaphor generator I created. I thought of how all of the stuff of daily life can lend us beauty. At the same time it can sometimes hides us from ourselves.
. . . . . . .
joy is a tall tree
which is to say
a tree doesn’t grow overnight,
and
the best things take time,
and
while a forest is
large
and often beautiful,
you can
lose your tree
inside it
joy is a tall tree with roots deeper than a mountain
love is, too, if you let it flourish on wonder, and settle in soil
Thanks, Kevin! Lovely!
