Can you see
a forest
when it Loses a Tree
Run away branches
Roots follow Thee
The Tree ran off
from both you and Me
even the little birds
find an odd Mystery
Do we read another book
and see another See
with eyes now Open
and wisdom to Be
Can a Tree fly Free
Be careful where you fly
Leave us room to live by
and let the tree
make love to the sky
or how and why
can a Tree stand by
and make one more Tree
Kind of sad to think of a forest losing a tree and a bird.
To Carol DM
So sad when the Bird
made it to the sky
and took its song
from the butterfly’s Eye
and the tree flew Away
hope it dropped a Seed
to fulfill the the forest’s Need
