Excerpt From Word Castles

by Tom Spencer

Coming soon to an e-bookstore near us.

The Tree of Dreams It was the tree of dreams. Once a seed thrown forth. From everyday survival, Desire, building, daring. Growing stately strong. A bark of grace and beauty. Abundant leaves of green, on simple branches strong. Then came the storm. The driving, raging winds, a twisting devil cloud, felled the tree of dreams Some say, it was the roots, couldn't hold the ground. Others say the god, came to put it down We have seen the grandeur, of the tree of dreams. We will plant another, deeper in the ground. Copyright © 2000 by Tom Spencer
