Appreciating the Town Tree
The fingers explore new heights
As colors express the limbs
Blue irradiates the town
As true darkness falls
Hidden eyes escape the sight
Of the bell tower entrance
It rings with purposeful hand
Gone are the lost men
The trees linger, still around
Loving the strong mastered forms
The city escapes no one
The lack of light hates
The lighthouse near the ocean
Lights everywhere near the shore
Color doesn’t show itself
For the darkness reigns
Open is the city’s front gates
Blue is the darkest of night
Evening breaks concentration
The tree brings new hope
