The Maple
June 5, 2013
I am hidden from the worries of life
in plain sight, but never more invisible,
by that soaring maple.
Nestled in the tangled mess of roots
and napping in the shade.
Peeking through the vibrant leaves
to see if anyone is searching.
Slinking in the branches,
perched high above the ground.
Safe, under it's protective gaze
sheltered from the woes of the earth around.
That lonely maple
holds me in it's arms
and rocks me in the whispering wind.
