my senses bade me tarry
the thick white clouds race across the indigo sky
hiding the stars in a syncopated light show
now listen, to the wind blowing through the trees
it sounds like the ocean here on the earth
the ebb and flow whispering between the branches
oh, were i that tree
my limbs, the boughs through which the wind whispers
my hair swaying like elegant Spanish moss
my rings each one a jewel of stability and longevity
a little sparrow fast asleep in my embrace
as starlight fades to azure blue
my dew-kissed leaves glisten in the morning sun
as the sleepy earth awakes
oh, were i that tree
i'd tarry for all my days.
