Single Tree Silhouettes...
along the sunflower sunrises
you can watch butterflies quiver as if they were nature's kites
I just hope that there’s another rootless person
who wakes to dance in the bloom of morning’s first lights
on days of fair cotton candy clouds
you can fix your eyes past all the single tree silhouettes
I just hope that there’s another roaming person
who looks outside of life’s branches instead of using them as nets
in the mystic tangerine sunsets
you can actually see the paints spill along the horizon’s ledge
I just hope that there’s another drifting person
who watches the colors trickle along dusk’s cliff edge
in the low phantom moon
you can only see his orange peel grin in his half exposed expression
I just hope that there’s another nomadic person
who smiles back as they dream away their day lit depression
and on the clearest chestnut nights
you can always smell the fog that floated over an anonymous pond
I just hope that there’s another wandering person
who takes it all in all, but never forgets that there is always more beyond
