Tree

I look out the window
And into a world
Full of hatred and evil
But yet --

In the distance I see
A tree standing tall.
A tree, as if goodness
And loving combined
Had decided to take a shape.

The snow falls on this
One lone tree,
Hiding it from all eyes.
Save mine --

I see that tree
Asleep in the snow
And I know that in time,
That tree will live again
And all will live in peace.
