THE SHADY TREE

Sleet-filled air,
Dusty roads,
And hungry children...
How good this world was,
And how it has been changed,
By some sons and daughters,
Of Adam and Eve!
Tarry not here O my heart!
Let us return,
To that secret place,
Where goodness survives,
And thrives...
O lone eagle!
Scare away the buzzards,
For, I need the shady tree,
To rest for a while
And think of my beloved...
