Outside My Window - Collaboration With Chris Green

The tree next to my window Waves with its leaves all day As if it thinks I'm lonely Or does it want to play? Its branches create shadows That dance across the room I wonder if it notices My smile full in bloom The small birds living in it Sing music to its dance From dawn to dusk I listen Smile at their bird-romance And then I see the butterflies With colors bright and true Reds and greens and violets Mixed in with shades of blue Don't think my bed is boring I never feel depressed For I just need to look outside To know that I am blessed *** June 7, 2017 Copyright © Chris Green and Darren White

Afternoon Darren. Morning Chris. This is lovely. I can almost visualize who wrote what stanza and expression. I'm on the fence of the title. However wonderful poetry and expression is wonderful poetry and expression. May everyone be blessed as so eloquently stated with the ending. Have a wonderful day. Wonderful work entirely. - s m i l e --
