My new poetry book coming out this autumn, in eBook and in full print.
Dance your way to the new
Dance, dance in the wind of life
Glad you were here and now going to your new beginning
For your work is almost done
You were once the new, busting with foliage, busting out,
Laughing for the world with joy, shouting out I am here, look at me
Your frame and structure to support you high and standing tall,
Look up at me for this is my tree
Clothing it during the hot summer to bear fruit and provided shelter to the animals who vacant there
Dance, dance in the wind of life
Now show to all the other trees, you are changing colours and the forest will show to the sky
Your wild beauty that you show in this world, leaving to let in the new
Nourishing the earth during the winter so your roots do not get cold
Dance, dance in the wind of life
As you fall, standing naked for the world to see
Knowing as you came to this world with the hope of love and you leave with the hope of being loved
Now with your beautiful movements so elegant, you dance in the wind of life
Will I show such beauty as I dance my way to the new?
