The Tree Of Life Has Fallen
The tree of lifehas fallen on my small house.
I thought it was so much bigger!
But it is not.
There in the distance I see the mountains
still.
The view of vast water stretching before me
is superb.
My boat is grand and I still command the captain
of it; not having learned myself to sail.
But I am adrift
without my tree of life
that has fallen heavy
without grace or pity
on this small place.
For the departing dictator, in perpetuity.
Alice Walker
Commentary:
Tree of life is a symbolic representing all aspects of life. It connects us one by one and hold us firmly so that we may enjoy peaceful living. Walker explains when the tree of life have a fallen and that we want be planted firmly and want have sense of direction. She describes it as things become tighten and compacted.When the tree of life have fallen an unbalance occur and i believe Walker wanted to explain such.
