A Shade Tree

Written 29 July 1993

Nature’s speckled shadows

Lie tangled in the trees

And as I look up from under

I think they want to be free

But soon there passes a butterfly

And right after that a sparrow

The speckles show their beauty then

With no hint of pain or sorrow

So next I feel it’s my turn

And I place myself under the tree

And all the speckles cover me up

And show how beautiful shadows can be

[Michael X]

this is beautifully written its awsome when the reader can feel just about
every word the poet is trying to convey, you've captured such imagery.

I liked the rhyming here, it was a nice natural poem. A sort of sleepy, lullaby song...
