Poetry: In the trees

by keisi j

Created on: January 19, 2010   Last Updated: February 24, 2011

Proud, proud melody of limbering breath

Repeating your next glorious words in your head

So freely you’re swayed, as if by waves of music


Willow careless and redwood tall

Your quivering leaves enticing all

But your eyes are always occupied by unmet need


Excessive adornments on for disguise

How content and awesome you paint yourself

Above fear, above judgment

All false...above substance


Come one come all,

You beckon your worth

Soon, they surround you

Within and without you


You, willowing, wondering, swaying

however-

Bending for the wind, the rain

whomever-


Proud, proud oak

Old soul, indiscriminate

Mother Teresa to any thirsty immigrant


Strip down naked on top of your pulpit

Demonstrate your ecstasy

Let it drip… drip… drip

Moisten that regal throne with charity and goodness


Oh selfless one, above your lords in servitude

Bestow your purity, your flowers indiscriminately

Fill every goblet joyously


For the crowd keeps growing exponentially

What a gift you have and thus you give

To every open hand, every swollen tongue

Every drooling spit lain on feverish lips

Every pulsating, sweating, desperate prick


Because selfless you are

Humbly free

Bending with the wind

Over a knee
