The birds and flowers they sang to me As i walked 'neath the bows of the sycamore tree A light refreshing rain soaks my skin I was washed in the flow and made whole again. The lights they flowed from bird to bee In the soft light, in the warm rain, 'neath the sycamore tree. Once my lady i did seranade thee With light voice and warm heart 'neath the sycamore tree. Once we walked and we were made free in the thin light of a late night 'neath the sycamore tree. We loved as the angels wild, unendingly On the brown leaves, on an autumn day 'neath the sycamore tree Now I leave you my love to sleep deep with my heart stole, in a cold hole. 'neath the sycamore tree. To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain |

Too bad it had to end so sad. However, that's one of the breaths of poetry. Many reflections under the sycamore nicely presented here Paul. Like the old style. Eric My favorite oxymoron, "rap music" |

I'm a fan of not so happy ending. To mimic is a form of praise unless |
