THESE ARE THE WOODS I WALK DOWN

THESE ARE THE TREES I LOVE

THIS IS MY GUIDE

TO GOD ABOVE

IT IS ONLY

WHEN I DONT SEEM TO WANT IT

I GET IT

A SNOWFLAKE

BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT

WHEN IT HITS THE GROUND

IT DISAPPEARS

THE MORNING IS BRISK AND COLD

AN ICY BREEZE PASSES OVER THE CANAL

THE GEEN SHOOTS OF THE DAFFODIL ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE

THE CHURCH BELL QUIETENS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN

AND I SMILE

AS NO FRIEND OF MINE DIED TO DAY

BLACKBIRD

SITTING IN AN OPEN TREE

SINGING JUST FOR YOU AND ME

I TOOK A WRONG TURN

A WRONG HOUSE

A WRONG DOOR

A WRONG NOOSE

these are the woods

I walk each day

these are the leaves

I saw from green to brown

this is the lock

that keeps me out

from the waters of minnow stream

to the darting trout

I MET A ROBIN ON MY WAY

HE NODDED WISHING ME GOOD DAY

THEN HE SAID TWEET TWEET

AS IF MY SOUL TO GREET

 

HE HOPPED ACROSS TO ME

ASKING WHAT DO I SEE

I TOLD HIM WHAT WAS IN MY HEAD

HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL

JUST BOW YOUR HEAD AND KNEEL

HE TOOK HIS WINGS AND FLEW AWAY

WISHING ME GOOD DAY

 

 

 

 

TODAY I SAW A MAN

OVER SIX FEET TALL

WALKING A DOG

LESS THAN HALF A FOOT
