I walk out in the woods
And I try not to step
Loudly
I lie on my back and stare at a little
Cloud That sails gracefully
Like a white fleur-de-lis
By beauty I'm
Surrounded Too
Beautiful to say
Then in full throat the thrush
Just blows me away
With his song so
Pristine
Much like Leonard Bernstein
Ash, white pine, and hemlock
Make my canopy
Perfect space just in case there are
Raindrops Shade to cool the sun when it
Shines
Equatorially
An invention I can't fail to mention
The idea of a tree
Seems miraculous to
Me
I heard about a banyan
In India somewhere that's so huge
One whole village collects itself
There Completely under its arms
To be safe from all
Harm He must be some
Creator
Or maybe He's a She but who
Cares? His creation is something to
See Perfect in every detail
Elm, oak, and
Magnolia Make my
Canopy
Perfect space just in case there are
Raindrops Shade to cool the sun when it
Shines Equatorially
An invention I can't fail to
Mention The idea of a tree
Seems miraculous to me
