Whatever you do Do not listen to what I say Sometimes my thoughts are like seeds Will plant themselves take root and grow And it may grow unnoticed until Somewhere in the future You'll find shade and comfort Under that growth on a hot day
With roots just as awesome and Majestic As is the crown of many colors Ever-changing... ... As it puts on its display Though you may find comfort In the that shade it may provide There may be times you wonder about The view beyond that.... may be denied
It's only human to want that view never seen Given the person in pursuit of perfection Unfettered and pristine Ironic and tragically funny... How there's always something in between
The very introduction becomes an obstruction And will be Until convinced of the offense Then removed sheared off at the ground Only to then find... nothing new In this new view ... ... worthy of being seen
So it was not that astute To be in such dogged Pursuit Of perfection That you would forget about the root that had originally anchored those thoughts in your head From whence you strayed And in so doing... You lost your comfort in the coolness of the shade
