just be

To go someplace where nobody knows my name..

Somewhere far where life ain't a race to name and fame

A nook, a cranny....of the world where I can just be....Just be

To mix in a crowd, to smile at strangers...

To let my eyes wander and observe the kindred in strangers

To love for moment... someone's smile, a laugh...Just be

To watch the sea of humanity like riding an endless wave

See them and feel their soul in a passing hello..a wave!

To know another without ever knowing them...Just be

The roots..remind me

The sunlight, she glides through the trees...and escapes...

Rays of  shiny freedom shine through the green leafy gold..

The wind does whisper secrets to the branches to hold..

The river faraway has a faint song on shuffle mode like on audio tapes

There is moss entwined on the trees... holding us close..

I look up in awe at the forest of mighty trees..touching the sky...close..

Until my foot stumbles on the journey of their networked roots...

Reminding me that it is the endurance of the sinewy roots...

The quiet roots that overcome the apathy of the mountain rocks, with persistence..

That make the trees of the Olympic stand tall.. in the sky with magnificence
