I Saw a Tree Reaching High
I saw a tree reaching high
into the air
waving to the wind
to the wind up there.
I saw a squirrel climb up the tree
to the highest branch
so his tail could dance
with the bright green living dancing leaves.
I heard a bird up in the tree
whistling songs to the dancing breeze
and the squirrel’s tail dancing happily
and orange sunlight shimmering.
I heard the squirrel start chattering
with the bird song whistling
in the whirling whispered dancing breeze
that fluttered all those dancing leaves.
I saw a world up in that tree
with dancing tails and sun bright leaves
and chattering and whistled songs
and wind of course to hold it all.
