i could not protect you
as you climbed
high upon the tree
thin spindly arms
you climbed higher
ever higher…free
’til you sat high above
waving to me
angel of everything
i still can’t protect you
as you still climb
forever the tree of life

Â
The path lies here but where
does it go beneath pine needle
carpets hiding soundless
footsteps silently from all
that lies below
The path that twists and turns
like random corkscrew chains
running away but still anchored
only springing back again
all goals eschewed
The path lies here but where
beneath a moonlit stream of
light bouncing off shadows
the trees spreading like giants
within the night
The path takes curves that
climb then swiftly drop into the
depths where it will always be
found where it continues its’
rest in ‘You’

Try seeing with the eyes of your soul to
imagine life upside down, inside out, a
life where animals that walk the earth
had wings to fly instead and the birds of
the air had legs to walk on the earth,
what would life be like then…
Phenomenal
Cats, dogs, horses,elephants with wings
to fly high above to play with the clouds
to venture to mountain tops covered with
snow, to see running rivers swift, lakes and
oceans to delight, confounding the senses
what would life be like then…
Mesmerizing
Birds transformed into creatures with legs
walking in fields of flowers, climbing to the
tops of mountains, traveling to the depths of
valleys, amazed at the smallest of creatures,
curling up to sleep in hay or on a bed
what would life be like then…
Serendipitous
