Tannenbaum (An 8, 8, 8, (8) Villanelle)
Here I grow, a handsome fir tree
Standing upright within my wood;
An innocent, then let me be.
Where now I thrive for all to see,
Strobilus stemmed out of the bud;
Here I grow, a handsome fir tree.
Today I prosper, living free,
As streaming sap spawns my life blood;
An innocent, then let me be.
Forever green and wild are we,
My friends and I'd age if we could;
Here I grow, a handsome fir tree.
The gentle breeze may hear my plea
And listen to me as it should;
An innocent, then let me be.
So...
Standing upright within my wood;
An innocent, then let me be.
Where now I thrive for all to see,
Strobilus stemmed out of the bud;
Here I grow, a handsome fir tree.
Today I prosper, living free,
As streaming sap spawns my life blood;
An innocent, then let me be.
Forever green and wild are we,
My friends and I'd age if we could;
Here I grow, a handsome fir tree.
The gentle breeze may hear my plea
And listen to me as it should;
An innocent, then let me be.
So...

A Touch of Spring
There's the soft lift of blue that carries the song of birds to touch the clouds
And green
The world's turned green again
From raggedy lawn
Growing free before the first cutting
Yearning in the sun
Softly rippling
As the cool of the breeze
Wends its way
In that peculiar cool to the warmth of the day
Like the last fading echoes of winter forgot
In the lavender and dogwoods
Pink and white which are scattered
Among the green of leaves and buds
Of trees in varied shades of green
For today is awake to things
Like life...
And green
The world's turned green again
From raggedy lawn
Growing free before the first cutting
Yearning in the sun
Softly rippling
As the cool of the breeze
Wends its way
In that peculiar cool to the warmth of the day
Like the last fading echoes of winter forgot
In the lavender and dogwoods
Pink and white which are scattered
Among the green of leaves and buds
Of trees in varied shades of green
For today is awake to things
Like life...

strangers
had a picnic in the park
was pretty crowded but we
kept a safe distance from others
didn't

Sing with me
Hey little bird
so sweet and true
can I sing
along with you?
Hey little bird
come sing with me
up there high
in the big oak tree
Hey little bird
your voice so strong
I love to hear
your beautiful song
Sing with the wind
Sing in the breeze
Way up there
in your old oak tree
so sweet and true
can I sing
along with you?
Hey little bird
come sing with me
up there high
in the big oak tree
Hey little bird
your voice so strong
I love to hear
your beautiful song
Sing with the wind
Sing in the breeze
Way up there
in your old oak tree

निंबोली: कडवा नीम
वो निम तो कड़वा ही था
फिर उससे जुड़ी यादें मिठी कैसी
नुक् निम तो कड़वा ही था
फिर...
वो निम तो कड़वा ही था
फिर उससे जुड़ी यादें मिठी कैसी

Tribulation of a Tree
Hey Man, please
Don't cut me
Don't lop me
Don't trim me
It hurts me
My branches are my arms
Leaves are my nerves
Their abundance is my wealth
And exuberance is my health
My leaves are cast in draught
So I could live for longer
In spring they loom and bloom
To blush me with fruits n flower
Please, don't lop my leaves
Don't cut my branches
It makes me quiver,
It makes me bleed.
Children play and swing on my arms
Fills my heart with abundant charm
Bird's chirping n singing,
makes me...
Don't cut me
Don't lop me
Don't trim me
It hurts me
My branches are my arms
Leaves are my nerves
Their abundance is my wealth
And exuberance is my health
My leaves are cast in draught
So I could live for longer
In spring they loom and bloom
To blush me with fruits n flower
Please, don't lop my leaves
Don't cut my branches
It makes me quiver,
It makes me bleed.
Children play and swing on my arms
Fills my heart with abundant charm
Bird's chirping n singing,
makes me...

My Beloved, Like an Oak Tree
My beloved
Like an oak tree
Rooted with wisdom
Sharpened leaves
How your branches snake
To hold my wandering feet
Into your canopy
I rest in your shade
And watch you grow
Like fine wine, you age beautifully
Those hollows I trace
Hiding my belongings
Keep them safe
My beloved
Like an oak tree
Like an oak tree
Rooted with wisdom
Sharpened leaves
How your branches snake
To hold my wandering feet
Into your canopy
I rest in your shade
And watch you grow
Like fine wine, you age beautifully
Those hollows I trace
Hiding my belongings
Keep them safe
My beloved
Like an oak tree

if comes the rain
I'guess this
must be
that
blank sea'son i've heard be told
about.
The leaves, in all their greenery, have
disowned/abandoned
the trees.
The ice is quick crumbling in the north.
Politics, policy, procedures all become
lame performance 'art'.
~Only
two blind eyes per person allowed
for each/every one-night stand.~
And no refunds if ...

tree spirit
curiously I linger in the old forest
where the trees stand guard
gnarled and bent but steadfast in their truth
they whisper hello as I again enter
the enchanted place of my youth
the gatekeepers ask the password
I quietly utter "somber"
come in child we've been waiting
too long in the world away from us
what news do you bring of humanity?
I cringe and answer
only sorrow
so many mortals fail to hear--
the tree royalty chanting
protectors of the innocent
little ones shelter-- ...

In Silence
More strange words from when I wake from dreams. It's on my profile I'm a tree, now not literally obviously or maybe I'm just a Little Shop Of Horrors in my own right. I have a lot of dreams where I'm a tree though but I'm also me, observing me being a tree.
In this dream I was a tree, also me watching myself as a tree, all the way until I was permeating infinity.
Some words were narrated in the dream and others were just at the tip of my mind when I woke up.

ancient green beauty
rooted in the ground yet free
