The Curtain Climbers
Sometimes we find the strangest things about.
Like polka-dot turtle shells or diamond studded tree roots.
Occasionally grace is given to those who can see a teddy bear tree.
Disguised as a round clump of prickly ends that sit high up on leaves until the
arms and legs extend.
When the teddy bear tree started to grow...
Oh, I didn't know what to think.
Now most curtain climbers can't see a teddy bear tree.
They miss the most unusual things like...the rainbows end, soft wind in their
ear, orange spray from a peel, and talking about what is not real.
Dreamers see the soft end bear.
Plant the seeds and you will see a teddy bear tree and me.
