the song of a ttee (fragment)
There is no light in the air tonight The whispering echos remisncent of a voice Telling me a story I heard so many times before Beyond rhe horizon there's an acacia Its magic leaves fanning to create the wind The rustling becomes a longing murmur-- a lullaby to bird and beast It tells of a dream nesting in its deepest core The everlastin hope that feed its roots The fanning leaves also keep the tree's secrets And yet they open its heart to those who dare to listen The story is long and sweet as the acacia's sap A wondrous song to make the traveller dream.
