Where i go to grow wings
Along the fronds of the triplicate trees
(without specifics regarding latitude/
longitude)
Sporadically weaving between them,
are dreams, when i need to detach
from the woes of the world.
Fixed on a point, my eyes can divest
of the current calamities.
The clouds conjure pictures, then
quickly erasing, replacing with others;
all perfectly pleasing to me.
With cradling arms, the triplicate trees –
leaning in, welcoming me,
to this place, i can safely surrender
growing wings, through my poetry.
