I was sitten under a tree
listening ta the wind
watchen the leaves dance to and fro
not thinking much
and then it hit me
as I grazed up into
the moonlite sky
as I watched the clouds float by
painting pictures as they went
and then I noticed something else
the wind was singing a melody
I canted my head this way and that
tryen to catch every last note
I closed my eyes ta better hear
and what did I hear I said outloud
a wolf calling out to a mate
a snake as it slithered thru the dry leaves
birds twiddering their goodnights to each other
and even a troll snoring thru a ton of logs
how sweet it was to me this song I felt
and then I tilted my head back a bit
breathed in the smell of woods at night
there was the sweet decay of olde fallen leaves
night blooming jasmine and dew on the grass
and even the vile breath of a dragon so near
ACK! nevermind for tis was just my feet!
I pondered what was around me
how alive it was even with out me
I turned and felt the tree and sensed
it humming so happily
the grass giggled and tickled my toes
I gazed back above and it almost seemed
as if the stars were winking at me
the sun peeked its bright and cheerie face
just above the horzion not so very far
painting the sky with reds and golds
and sent a sunbeam heading my way
it played in the leave just above my head
dancing with the wind just as lovers normally do
I reached my hand up and up
and placed it into the golden light
marveling at the warmth I felt and then
it hit me for we three just
