Back and forth, back and forth,
all trees wave in the breeze
as if they know instinctively
to look back at the past,
contemplate the future,
and remain grounded
in the place they’re at.

Do they paint in the moonlight
like I do sometimes, yes,
a picture of the future
and does the sunlight touch it up
or burn away ideas
when sunken are their roots
in the sand of present times?

I know to touch up, yes I do,
so my picture perfect, awesome, good,
can move forward, on, and up,
while I remain yours faithfully
here between the lines
of my now lifestyle.

So I’m confined, indeed I am,
me and you and everyone,
but trees do not believe
they cannot see the moon
like a future glowing
in the darkest night.

I’m not a tree but maybe… yes,
tonight I see the moon!

I could feel the wind in the trees, this was so good!
