Tree Tops
Let us not forget the wind and the distant tree tops
A small bird joins the sky in its flight homeward
The clouds surround the universe in my endless mind
Rain purifies the lingering evil, and cleanses my soul
The ground absorbs my thoughts as I lay down upon it
My body becomes a rock floating on the surface of the sea
I become weightless and begin to sink to the ocean floor
The water is cool and dark as I emerge into the pale reflection
Damp clothes cover my foreign body and hold me down
I stand in the warm sunlight waiting for a silent death
The spreading of wings ignites my tears into flames
My dreams become smoke and lift me into reality
The dark night consumes me as I am reborn into a new day
The rising sun brings rays of suffering love undone
Weight releases as my cold breath departs and becomes the wind
