~ CITY TREE ~

~ CITY TREE ~

Aye city tree,
I cry for thee,
When thee I see,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  I hide the tears....

Arms vernal yearn,
Desire to burn,
But men shall learn,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  With passing years.....

That trees feel too,
As I for you,
We'll start anew,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  I'll mend thy pains....

You shall be me,
And I a tree,
We both agree
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  We'll meet again....

Stronger than I,
Bold in the sky,
Shall never die,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย My pen thy word....

For I am me,
And thou art tree,
We two of He,
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  As is the bird....

Tony Taylor

I hear that's what used to happen in the 80's a lot if ya got on the wrong side of the mob ..ย 

a most interesting glimpse into where as a writer you have journeyed from & of course clearly visually appealing & well structured .. I like it Tony .. but then, I got a thing about trees wherever they might be ..

Oakay, over n out fir now sequoia, my friend & kindling spirit .... Neville :)
