Come, 

join me in a joyful flight.

put your chores and woes away,

for the moment soar and play.

Leave your troubles on the ground,

sip the nectar all around,

listen to the flowers sing.

Who knows what the morrow brings?

It’s

            not 

                                                                              a 

race

to

                    fall,

     but

                             some

  leaves.  

                        have

                                                                              already

                begun.

Every now and then

a song reaches out and grabs us,

takes us to another time,

another place, and once again

we’re in a friend’s basement

rockin’ to “Let’s Go To The Hop”.

Do you think trees question

their right to take root,

to branch out, to leaf,

to glisten in the sun,

to drop their leaves

when the days grow

short and cold?

Maybe we could learn

to question less.

Maybe we could learn

to live more like trees.

When we hit a road block,

it can help to idle awhile

until we find the best way

to get to where we want to go.
