Walk With Me (Free verse) by Ojiboch
Look it's the tree!
The tree that I told you about
Its glamour is what I hoped you'd notice
It got me the first time as well
Pick a fruit, its OK
At first I was also apprehensive
Sit in its shade, see like me
Lay on the grass, the soft grass that has the privilege to live around
the trunk
Look up-the tree trunk leads to a thousand leaves dancing in the wind
You should be here in the fall, it's the most beautiful sight one can
see
Wind gives it life; the braches love it-they can play and move in the
air
Pick up that newly fallen leaf
Feel it and close your eyes-it's as soft as your dreams
You can dream here under the tree all you wish
Keep it a secret, please
Isn't it so lovely to see, a welcome from reality
You can cry under the tree when you feel a need
You can even sleep in its arms as they protect you from the sun and
harmful worries
No one knows it exists, alone here in the mist of early morning
Ssshhh! can you hear the birds sing? They are! Look up to see them share
in this wonderful place
Now it's my time to go, I've only come here to show
Please keep it a secret from the rest, the outside must not touch the
harmony here
Love it as I have, cherish its beauty like no other
Please, please don't say a word about the tree
I trust you, it's between you and me
