Two trees share one root br and reach for the sky br One a girl, one a guy br How gently they sway by and by br br Together they face to the sea br Sparkling brightly in the sun br Firmly planted, unwilling br and unable to run br br They dutifully shade a park bench br Aimed out upon the bay br and shade the lovers who rest upon it br Sharing kisses by night and dreams by day br br Through the clouds, the gales and the rain br The trees with one root remain br and their leaves bloom each season br Again and again br br Birds to the top branches alight br To rest their weary wings from flight br and rest there deep into the night br To fly away at the break of morning light br br And as the first rays of yellow sun br Shine brightly upon the tree br the he and she br Cast only ONE shadow br br br © James T.
