The Ghost of My Brother Lost

From the tree the last apple
Fell to earth alone
Spoiled by summer’s touch
Yellow-scarred, burned with rust.
Wasting in the barley grass
In the froth of golden hops
Hides a bitter soul,
The ghost of my brother lost.
How loved he was! Will he ever know?
For envy casts fond memories off
Into stormy seas green with greed
Like old whiskey bottles bobbing blind.
In the shadows of his father’s tomb
He pillaged his brother’s birthright share
And now upon stiffened knees he stands aloft
A barren tree in a field of forgotten love. -

I really like the painting of the shadow of the tree and man morphed together. It reminded me of the famous quote by Abraham Lincoln:
