Every now and then To put my soar eyes to rest I feel the cedars and pines Attempting to capture them all In the cameras of my eyes I long to sledge deeper inside To witness the wonders of their world The world of worms and woodpeckers They say not to touch flowers But I caress them captivated by their brightness I grin as I gaze them with proudness How he was nearly slashed, morphed It made my skin crawl But Papa tied a rope around like a bandage to the wounded And caged him to keep away the wicked I thought the story was over But he rewrote it Smooth healing made him hale and hearty And even today, every now and then To put my soar eyes to rest I feel the huge cedars and pines Attempting to capture them all In the cameras of my eyes With every rustle As they lean on to each other Singing and Swinging My heart cherish when they are alive and kicking.
