Rooted to Promises


Tree Orb
The beautiful photographic art of Deborah Glessner ~ Lark Photography


He said he would never leave…
so I buried him beneath the oak
where roots would pierce his heart
to keep him bound to promises.

About the only way to get a dude to keep his commitments! Not sure we're good fertilizer for anything but resentments.
