Olive trees a poem by M.T. Al-Mansouri,Ph.d.

[M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D.]

Olive trees are food, guidance and light to the eyes.
Olive trees are evergreen and steadfast in the face of Zion.
Moses, the protector of the garden and the Pharaoh.
Palaces of kings, prairie wolves and the universe.
Olive trees are the fall and the spring of ages and the compassionate voice of deer.
Olive trees are the solar and lunar eclipses and the arts.
Olive trees are bitter struggle through the years.
Olive trees are Christmas holidaies and branches of trees.
Olive trees are twitters of bulbuls and goldfinches.
Olive trees and Mandela; who is the icon of peace and human right
