A Bird or Tree?
I too am a bird
A seagull or an erne
Soaring in elevating circles
In the ocean that is the sky
Look down upon the world
Seeing everything with one eye
The other eye
Is my imagination
Sees what is not
And not what I see
It can fly
Ever so high
Beyond the sky
I am the tree
When I close both eyes
Rooted in reality
Drawing nourishment
From the earthy past
Of my experiences
From my toil
The multi-layered soil
My thoughts are my leaves to leave
Or tear off whenever you please
My shade you call wisdom
The boughs only two
A shelter for the bird in you
