inborn
I envy those of us
Who believe they are not artists
For they have so much that lies within
And in their dreams
Bursts of colours of imagination
Fill their subconscious
As they long for morning.
I wish to leave them a pen and paper
For them to write the dreams
So that I can feel their art
Emerge
As they pour their morning fix
love is blinding
We need each other,
That is why we are rooted to one tree
We need to breath in each otherʼs air
Every so often, to clear the gaps that have spread us so wide apart
But now Iʼm thinking that maybe
We are not rooted to one tree
Maybe you have yours and I mine.
And maybe your tree is five miles from mine.
So that when the wind blew,
Your leaves flew gently my way
But they softly landed, almost already dry
And Iʼd think we were strangers just then
And you proved it to me, that that is what we became
When your winds changed direction
For a tree that was neither like yours nor mine
A tree so foreign that you admired
In the coldest of our seasons
