Ballad of a Poplar
The poplars sway in the winter breeze
The field is wider than even falcon sees
The very time seems to freeze
Why do we wish for there to be God we need to appease?
Even idea of heaven is in the mind
Without the mind
Man is blind
But what put the idea of divine in the mind
What part of the mind is responsible for abstract?
What in evolution made that part intact?
Is there something beyond abstract?
If fifth element is spirit what would it be if first element would be beyond abstract
And what equivalent of fifth element would be at end of all
Could there actually be something beyond soul
Looking at wind kissed poplars towering tall
Those strange questions creep into the soul
Does answer to them in wind lies
Or in shooting star that crosses the skies
But I think it lies
In the depth of my love’s eyes
