Make A Bed
Make a small bed,
Pad spongy layers
Under clean sheet,
And puffy pillows.
Warm, soft, and cozy.
As a bird’s nest,
For this short prelude
Before a dream.
Cuddle in, lie down,
Cover gentle, curl easy.
Window curtain down
Music, lamp off
Close eyes,
Breath light,
See light,
Enter light.
Stay with light,
Become light,
Be light,
Light.
I am a tree standing here…
I am a tree standing here, nice, quiet, and alone.
I have been loved by earth, rain and light.
My leaves please others visually.
I know my bones and muscles will provide utility.
The tree that loved me was here for a long time.
She stood a few steps away, her eyes always on me,
Day and Night. She never said she loved me. But
I knew she did. And I loved her, with my silence.
She was cut down. She did not even cry.
Her leaves have pleased so many visually.
She has been loved by earth, rain, and light.
She provided her bones and muscles, for utility.
I remember her with love.
With smile, appreciation and silence.
Because, I am a tree standing here,
Nice, quiet and alone.
