the old man and the tree
that tree is still there
the one in the background
one hundred years old or more
the one you climbed to the top
again and again and again
presenting a world in its most
simplistic state
colorful and melodious and calming
shielded from life’s uncertainties
if only for a brief moment in time
when the days were long
and the nights unfolded
limitless possibilities

I wish I could climb that tree again. Apart from the view, the mulberries were delicious.
Now that sounds like a wonderful tree, Archie!
Ah….the tree….
yes the ones we used to climb taller than a two story house
the birds in the background–nice touch! (I can’t hear your newer pieces–doesn’t work w/my computer 😦
thank you – I can hear the audio on my laptop and iPhone…i wonder what the deal is?
I wish I knew!
