Notes About The Poem

This poem appears in my book "One of the Guise". It was inspired by the movie Moonlight and Valentino.

Appears in the anthology: Diverse Voices: The Poetry of Human Rights and the Pursuit of Peace

Paper Tree

Look at the paper tree grow
With words to nourish its roots
Watching the gentle way that its leaves sway
When the wind blows
Look at the paper bee fly
With harmony of the buzzing speech
It takes pollen from the flowers
Spreading it for all who need
"Let it be" says paper tree
The paper bee sings the tree's song
Take with you all that you've learned
Let it be, paper tree

' Let it be, ' says paper tree. And that's the way it should be. This is beautiful in every way, Michael. :) My heart is smiling. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
