Poem

In the green shadow of a tree
I lay my life
Down with a story
Waiting for glory
Longing to be
Ever so slightly bigger than me

In the white shadow of a cloud
I lay my days
At loss for meaning
As I am leaning
Broken but proud
Sand castle by a careless sea

In the blue shadow of a song
Able to sing
Not to belong
Trying to dream of
How to be free
Weaving a future
With made up pictures I can't foresee

In the grey shadows of my lot
I look for heaven
But find it not
Thirty one years
And searching where I shouldn't be
Around me, not inside of me

In the green shadow of a tree
I lay my life
Down with a story
And all its glory
For now I see
Heaven's much closer
Than 'round the corner
It's been here waiting
For you and me
In the green shadow of a tree

I like that it ends on a positive note..

And after the recent posts I imagined the green shadow of a tree to be in one of the photographs you've taken..

You have a unique drawing style, you take striking pictures and your writing is dreamy and beautiful..

what else do you have hidden up your sleeve? :)
Keep up the great work..
