What the Tower Was Told

There once was a tower

that lived high with the clouds.

Watch over the wind,

it was told.

Watch over the land,

the sea.

Look after the trees,

the rolling hills,

the white capped mountains

Don't take an eye off 

the shadows,

the souls.

So the tower looked

and it watched.

It gazed through gaps

in the clouds.

I peeked through rays 

of the sun.

It glanced through drops

of the rain.

And not once

did the tower

stop and think:

But who's going to watch over me?

This is so cute and very symbolic or at least it seems to be. Do get to caught up.

So unselfish was the tower, to bad there aren't many who could be that giving. :)

A fine poem, that has a kind of Japanese simplicity and beauty.

Thank you. I'm really glad.

I like. Maybe the message here is not just to be, but to participate....or maybe i'm wrong. Still enjoyed it though :-)

I hope you take from it what you see, not what I mean't for it to be.
