The Lavender Tree

There once stood a lavender tree

distinct from all the rest

it had no leaves nor bore no fruit

but thriving nonetheless

With roots deeply grounded

blanketed in soft green grass

unequal in beauty to it’s towering neighbors

but whose roots could not surpass

The sturdiness of the lavender tree

with branches reaching open sky

basking in the light of the sun

a beauty worth seeing far and wide
