Ballad of the Poplar

Tall and magnificent is poplar tree But about its visage is something eerie Poplar sways in the wind nearby a great sea Poplar is tall but can’t reach the edge of sky anymore than to see Past the great sea Sea It is very big sky goes for infinity Yet in this lost cause I admire poplars beauty Wind blows through poplar tree And that is what one day will allow it to see Far past the sky and the sea To view time but not one known to you and me The time seen by poplar tree Is echo that only divine counterbalance can allow one to see This time is like the wind of destiny Far past infinity or continuity That wind knows what meaning of life is to be And any other question of philosophy It can answer what is beyond philosophy And because of it my soul looking at poplar tree will be free
