Like a Gentle Sneeze

The tree stretches its branches Like a cat waking up from sleep Its leaves  give a little shake Almost like a gentle sneeze Looks down at the passing river  Snaking its way past its roots Watering nature as it meanders by Grass and plants with wormlike shoots Where is this river running to What mysteries does it leave behind Any evil  teardrops to poison you Or just happiness of the watery kind Whatever hope this picture brings Look for the sun as it bursts with song Remember that tree with its catlike stretch And the lazy river meandering along.
