A part of me would love to climb
The limbs of yonder tree.
But I’m a product of my time,
And so I let it be.
Instead, I stand, a world apart,
My feet on solid ground,
And listen to my very heart
And marvel at the sound.
Yet, deep inside, I can’t deny
There must be something more
To all of this than meets the eye
But can’t work out what for.
And, in the next, eternal now,
I scale the tree from bough to bough.
