A POEM!!!! I Finally wrote a poem after a school year of not writingness! Huzzah
As I walk barefooted through these hills we've passed before,
A breeze floats by and drops some petals on my hair.
Breathing the sweet-scented air gives me a sense of clarity that I have not found anywhere else.
Lines of green are painted across earth brown.
I don't have eyes enough to see it all!
A shadow is cast, and if I look at it in just the right angle,
It is almost as if you are walking alongside me.
I turn, and once again it is only a tree.
You are not here with me, however much I wish it were so.
So I will wrap this land you love in words of myrrh and rosemary,
Send it in a 1 shekel envelope
And hope it will one day pull you here to join me.
