Afternoon, friends and all others. I hope you’ll all enjoy the poem today. Reading it should be like writing it, you’ll smell the sea and feel the sand, the cool shade of the tree you’re sitting under, and just, finally, be able to breathe. Without further ado…
Under a Tree
On a cloud above the rest,
not the ground we so detest,
peering down at all the ants
as gulls pirouette and dance.
Fearing there upon the shore
there might be some kind of door
to that place I’d like to go.
Much anticipation does it sew.
By the sea
there is a tree
under which I’ll sit
for just a bit,
think a while
and maybe I’ll smile.
