Nothing Red Yet Neither Gray
NOTHING NEW
This is nothing new,
Simon says;
“hello darkness my ole friend”,
She is never our friend,
We treat her as a stranger,
Every time,
two young co-joined oaks,
Is this a miracle,
Inevitably one follows the sun,
Covering the other in Shadow,
time suffers,
The deep roots co-mingle,
Seedlings pop us surrounding,
Two strong co-joined oaks,
With young tender trees about,
The storms they survived,
Turbulent winds and ice,
Lightening striking one,
Is changed forever,
The live on co-joined stronger,
So much pulls together,
More than obvious,
Their growth diverse and differing,
The undefinable remains,
Inseparability doesn’t have fantasy,
Yet he longs,
Just a moment, something more,
His root stretches out,
Feeling for contact,
it’s made,
He vibrates at the respite,
Something feels brand new,
pain in the shadows for now,
Nothing new,
Co-Joined is not Co-Exclusive,
The earth holds deep secrets,
Of delight,
Even for the co-joined,
And the lonely one.
But as all begins,
All ends,
Even respites,
But the time between,
Makes him smile.
