The treetop glimmers outside my window
As light, dancing upon the leaflets -
Shimmies about in affable yellow.
My gaze can't help but be captivated
By light, pure and perfectly aglow.
In the wind, swaying charismatically -
Every leaf is twirled as a ballerina -
Playing with my fragile jealousy.
I think I hear an underlying viola -
Oh, light - would you dance with me?

It knows its own voice
When light shines
through its leaves; made
For bird prodigies.
Sun is hung up to stay
In green notes high and low.
Through its veins, there is
a rhythm for the gifted stems
to grow.
When my soul's tune cannot
be read, and is ragged-prone,
I hear the wind within its branches;
It reaches out for the bruise—
To home.

Birds singing to dawn's delight
Sweet songs in the morning light
Balmy breeze, and the elm sways
Treetop tunes on summer days
Blooms blush where gardens grow
Red roses in sunshine's glow
Butterflies fluttering by

The swift, whiz, of a spring breeze,
Young leaves nodding in the trees.
Quick flutter of small wings, through
High branches searching the sky of blue.
On cushion grass, Kitty walks,
Anxious sits, meow, it talks.
Watchful eyes, it hawks its prey,
As its tail rapidly moves in play.
Kitty's claws climb upward thrall
As, first scattered raindrops fall.
From one small branch, to the next,
The bird jumps, in frighten chirps, perplex.
Separated from branches,
And glimmering light patches,
Moving steadily above,
The bird is all Kitty can dream of.
Spring-shower subdues, chirps shrill.
Sun's touch, expectations still.
Fully Kitty's view, it cries.
Tree blossoms, limbs open, thrill bird flies.

the highest treetop--
is mirrored through the clear eyes
of a small firefly

Over
The treetop
Into the sky
Noticed a passing cloud
Pinkish
Turning
Its color
To that of grey
Beauty like no other
Darker
Night sky
It turns to
Black like the night
No light to refract off
The cloud
