From The Surface To The Core
A glance at the exterior
would reveal only the surface and see barren land.
And now wanderers come from afar
to roam and scrutinize this foreign place,
but do not see
how the indigo tears of a storm caresses the length of
simple curving branches.
Or how the sun's warm light will ripple and sway around
the plain desert and through the rain's light touch upon the woods
to gift the empty terrain with lovely blooms.
And how the stars that notice all; are cast down
in abash.
It's infinitely long universe blankets these stars
to shield them from the unnerving stares of these vultures.
This unknown land is seen by them
as plain, simple, average and not worthy
of their attention and is then geographically chartered as a
cast away island.
Such ignorance
and snobbish superiority blinds them
to the laughter that this island would share
to a kind traveler.
Or how it's vast and endless curiosity would convey you
to join along and journey in it's expanse of sweet secrets
and infect you with happiness for it will
always stretch down it's curled vines and listen to you speak
and gift you with presents
for simply being a companion.
And will not begrudge you when you move on.
And will instead cherish the memories you gifted,
deep within it's endless roots that is
Me.
