a secret

each tree 

waits for you

to look at it

with love

and say hello

my dear friend

*

can you imagine

what if

every sentence we spoke

was a melody

what if

every conversation we had

was a symphony 

*

just a thought

he asked

why watch sunsets

when you see one

each night

i said

why wouldn’t you

when no two

have ever been alike

*

you brave soul, you

sometimes

the most courageous thing

you can do

is to share your heart

with a world

all too eager

to tear it apart
