———————–
Shooting straight up to
its celestial home….
eager to begin its woody dance…
All fingers point to the sky
and respond with shaded eyes
to this mahogany sentry….
The waltz begins with
a turn of elegance
as the clouds and stars join hands
to greet one of their own…
And with my soul,
I witness…
and with my heart,
I smile…
And…
In this,
With all its simple beauty…
I am finally..
sincerely..
happy…
