Birds fly together straight to the tree standing high above the lowly one, me sure of its beauty, its majesty, and its indomitable will. Sunk in the sand for many a year it's a tree to harvest adoring stares and gather the wishes and needs of each and every sightseer. No wonder it grows tall, taller than me, it's full of the most delightful things because I know of my wishes and needs they are outstandingly grand. I don't worry that trees hold my needs but I wonder sometimes how they will appear after the decreed and inevitable biodegradable process. Who will know that they're mine? Helen / 6 April 2011 |

"No wonder it grows tall, taller than me, it's full of the most delightful things because I know of my wishes and needs they are outstandingly grand. I don't worry that trees hold my needs but I wonder sometimes how they will appear after the decreed and inevitable biodegradable process." I loved these two stanzas (each for different reasons.) This is one cool write. |
