Leafy Mysteries

And these leafy mysteries

And the silence of the eve

And in the shady tree's I swing

& in the dappled orchards heat

Where I lie & wait

Wait for the breeze

To carry me

To a place I can lose myself

No time just somewhere else

With a face I can recognise

-I forget sometimes

That's always been here

And all these leafy mysteries

& the changing of the seas

& all the secrets of the tide

Just open up the world I find-

So small to me

When there's so much to see –

So much to be –

Day up & the grasses hiss

Get up! Like sweet lips they kiss

See now that you're part of it

I forget sometimes

That's always been here

And these leafy mysteries

Have always been & always will

& in the shady trees I swing

& in the dappled orchard's heat

-where I lie & wait

Wait for the breeze

To hunger me-

Wait for the trees

To breathe in to me
