OUT ON A LIMB



Even a peaceful garden
Filtered with debris
Still needs to breathe.

Like a leaf,
She surrendered to the wind
Captured by the rhythms
She was taken in.

Like a bird
She soared through with ease
Without knowledge of this tree
Beneath of her.

She studied each limb carefully
Somehow they seemed to speak to her.
So she listened...and discovered you

Perched high upon this lonely branch
They paused together through a passin' storm
Embracing each other like a quiet breeze
Upsetting all the leaves....
