Tree

May 20, 2013
I’m going to fall asleep Way up in this tree, Fearful to fall Yet I sit so peacefully, I watch the leaves fall To the ground, The wind around me The only sound, These clouds seem endlessly away But I feel I am floating away, with them I rest upon these rough hard limbs, Yet so comfortable I am Hearing sweet, soft hymns I’m wishing you were here with me, But I know these wishes can never be This is why I sit so peacefully, I know I am bound by this cool air around my beloved tree
