tree

The tree outside my house rocks through the wind 

Back and forth, back and forth 

The leaves sway and fall 

An ongoing cycle throughout the year 

Watching the tree grow 

Bark wrapping around it 

Branches falling off and bouncing off the grass 

Lizard crawling up  

Like he is looking to flake a flee 

Waking up to the sound of the leaves swaying 

Hoping the bees are playing
