Whistle Tree

Could I grow from the sticks
The limbs of enchantment
Turn a cocktail mix
Into leaves, love’s commandment

Grow the charms of a smile
Into foliage, crock or dial
In the colors of autumnal hue

By the tilt of my head
Could the bark then in grain
Once the secret was said
Shower sapling with rain

Pick the fruit of renew
In blooms red, white and blue
Or the blood in eternal beguile

Maybe not at this time
Or the soonest comes near
Oath of soul paradigm
If I listen to hear

Reaching up all the while
Leaning out long the mile
Tune the music up louder in me

Might I build myself a whistle tree?

Kathleen - Kathleen~
I soooooooooooo enjoyed this~

My daddy taught me to whistle ...
and we each had a special 'whistling tree' that we would go to so we could see who could 'out-whistle' the other~

What special memories you caused to rise in my remember~
