Under a tree
By pl rage
I sit under a tree watching the world pass before me A bird lands in my hand singing a happy song No words but its meaning clear I should laugh and run with the wind I know this but still I sit A squirrel climbs up my knee holding out a nut The gift is small but its meaning clear I should break my shell and chase my dreams I know this but still I sit A golden leaf falls from the tree Not out of season but its meaning clear I should make my move before it’s too late I know this but still I sit A friend sees me and waves his hand The gesture is simple but its meaning clear I should go with him and not be alone I know this but still I sit A dog wiggles its tail and barks at me Something dogs do but its meaning clear I should do something wild and crazy for a change I know this but still I sit A spider comes and spins a web by my feet An intricate design but its meaning clear I should not stay in one place too long I know this but still I sit A girl walks up to me and gives me a kiss The sweetest touch and its meaning clear I should go now; my waiting is over I know this and leave the tree We wander off together as one with the world Written September 6th, 2001 © on Sep 06 2001 03:10 AM PST 0 • 10
