Every Great thing starts on a napkin


As I climb the big old tree
I feel free
no cage, no bars
just the tree and me

I climb high up
just to look way down
no cage, no bars
just the wind and me

I see and hear
kids at play
no cage, no bars
just the kids and me

I have this feeling
it is in me
no cage, no bars
this is just me


The author's comments:
This poem I wrote to show a insight on what it feels like to go up that tree. It is a wonderful thing to climb it is especially if your all alone to go up. To hear the sounds and to see the site it’s beautiful.When I go to that tree I feel at peace, because of it being part of the earth and sky as it towers above all else. This is where I like to be and I still go up that tree and I still climb it to this very day. When I would say "no cage" I refer to how in this world we are suppressed by hate, greed, and just your life's troubles. And when I would say "no bars" I'm referring to how people can feel trapped from the struggles of life not just from stress but also from giving up. This piece though is to also let you find your own meaning, so do you have one.
