I Love You
Morning arrived swallowed in fog
No bird sang
My eyes could only see the absence
of what was there yesterday
2
Rain created ponds that were never planned
Wind has broken limbs
When I look up I cannot see
where the limbs belong
where they broke from the tree
I cannot find their point of attachment
They are no longer part of something bigger
They will never hold spring leaves
They're no longer part of their family tree
I will gather but not burn them
nor remove them from their land
Here they shall remain
in the dull waiting for company
ready for nature’s next command
