Poem
I finished my work early this morning and went outdoors to exercise I jogged around the circle for a while and observed a few things happening outside A pickup truck parked on the edge of the street As soon as went out it drove in and erected a sign post in the neighbors yard and quickly drove away Shortly the fire engine raced tempestuously down the street as if the city was burning with heat and I could feel the vibration under my feet I completed my exercise and went back inside but something suddenly urged me to go back out side I picked up my camera and my I pad and went into my truck straight away a white car drove up to the newly renovated house a tall man and woman in shorts carried a sleeping bag inside and a little lad stood on the grass looking petrified I drove out of the parking lot and had a small chat They were not the owners but new renters I bid them goodbye and drove away with a smile I drove down to Eleanor C Lawrence park The bright sun warm the morning chill even though the atmosphere was not inviting but the heavens gazed at me with kindness Cars parked up everywhere but no one was on the trail I felt happy that many people weren't around and the Pokemon go gang was nowhere to be found once again nature has rebound chasing the restless spirit all around I could focus on my heart beat and I could feel the rhythm in the street I walked along the trail whose path was cluttered with leaves The impact of fall has finally taken its toll and wind was blowing cold I reached my favorite spot but I could hardly recognize it dry leaves covered the rocks and littered the flowing stream I cleared up the leaves and sat on a rock in the middle of the stream and placed the holy bible a camera and the book "what happen" on the rock in front of me suddenly the park came alive and people began to walk up and down the trail Couples on bicycle couples on foot single women and an old man and his dog with a mean frown on his face walked slowly around I wanted to leave that spot but something held me back I held the bible in my hand and listened to the water trickling under the rocks And the birds making sweet melody in the trees behind the stream But one noisy bird kept disturbing me Everywhere I go I kept hearing the same sound It resides in a tree in my neighborhood and whenever I enter the park it starts to shout I wasn't worried about anything All I wanted was to have a good feeling A clear my mind and relaxed mood all the time I read a chapter from the bible then took up the book "what happen" something start pulling me off the rock and leading me to something Suddenly the tree lit up in front of me and I saw something seated deep in the ground I have been to this place before and I have never seen anything like this before I began to penetrate it with my spirit and my intelligent mind It has big head and it looks like it is dead but it is still alive nourishing itself from every side The belly of the root has feet the belly of the root has knees The belly of the root has twisted roots engraved deeply in the soil miles and miles with layers and layers of top soil over it The belly of root has the face of a bull with male and female genital buried beneath the well The belly of the root stretched over the continent resting on the river bank with a big log in its hand sucking the nourishment from the mother land The belly of root spans way back in history When timber was the main industry When man was searching for food and they had to use firewood The belly of the root has feet protruding from its head The belly of root pretends as if it is dead It looks like a dragon mouth and a creature is stuck at the bottom of its throat The belly of root must be dug out so that the people can shout The belly of the root is littering the street The belly of the root is a beast !
