SPARK 12 by Ainsley Allmark and dani harris

a tree i once met

Response

i don’t recall
ever seeing
…no… ever meeting
such a tree
before or since

she had no branches on one side
she leaned the other way
where all her limbs
seemed to be reaching out
protectively

if you moved
within a few feet of her
there was a palpable feeling
of motherly love
and watchfulness

without a doubt
she has stood guard for years on end
enveloping all who grow near
with love
and safe refuge from the storms

i wonder what they say?

Inspiration Piece

in the quiet of the night
when the Moon is full
not a star can be seen
because the Moon outshines them all

with the first blush of pink
in the morning sky
i wonder what the Sun says
to the Moon as he passes?

in the quiet of the night
when the Moon is partially hidden
you may see a little twinkle
of a lonely star here or there

when the Moon is on
one side of the world
and the Sun is on the other
i wonder who they talk to?

in the quiet of the night
when the Moon is but a sliver
the sky becomes full of stars
dancing with delight

when the Sun is setting
and the Moon is nigh
i wonder what he says to her
as they pass each other by?
