the trees dance with me

have I told you
the trees dance with me?
yes, it sounds funny
but it's true and
very enchanting

I
like a child
look at them with such curiosity
because they are so tall
that sometimes they seem
to touch the sky and
I wonder
‘how small am I?’ and
they shake their branches
splashing me with drizzle
as dogs do
coming out of the water
inevitably they drop
some leaves and
sometimes some fruit as well
so I laugh and
they laugh with me

with the shadow of their branches
over my shoulders
I know what proceeds
I respectfully
bow and
kindly accept their invitation
I take them by the waist and
we dance together
I must admit as well
it feels great dancing
on their feet and
we get carried away by the music
with which the wind participates
but sometimes
one spins around so many times
that to the eyes of others
one seems to be a fool
but it is very intimate
something very special
to dance with the trees
they say to me
there is my child!
there is my love! and
they stroke my hair and
occasionally
they say goodbye
giving me a flower

have I told you
the trees dance with me?
yes, it sounds funny
but it's true and
very enchanting!
