Poem Title:
Poem
Walking the deck for you I noticed the wood beneath my feet old boards I stretch myself as far as the horizon Trying to expand myself for you You ask so much of me You push my boundaries beyond my boundaries You demand on command of me as if I were a child Yes,do .... stretch me and decrease me by making me thin I am trying to be bold in your presence Trying to remember where I came from and all that I believe in -for you I will serve you like a slave I will work for you like a child slave because I love you The only light I know is the light I've seen Driving through Forest of Bent trees where the sand and the wind have altered all to be so unusual and exquisite I can't stop thinking of wind altering trees In the light ....of nature so bent by wind and storm I'm humbled lifted and joyful amazed and here nothing you do to me will ever stop my... being happy You may be cruel but I will be bigger a lioness of bent branches rising to the sky roaring past you You may think You are bold in your cruelness You think ownership of me gives you the right? But I have the forest and I have the fluorescent red berries that he fought to retrieve for me and I will never forget what it is to be out here in air and sky and feel sand fall through my fingers A free child just enjoying the beauty of the world around me Gathering up bright berries of color to deck my halls I remember that nature and life can be turned simple by a tree engaged by a leaf romanced by a puddle spoken to by breeze All you have to really do is go out there and gather up what is offered Given without price
