The Blossomed Tree
Rooted and outstanding amongst the vast cement
Of a bustling city
She stands tall and with such elegance
In her ultimate phase of brilliance
Fashioned in her white Victorian lace
Capturing admiration by people who are observant
And attracting little birds who find a haven in her arms
That are so welcoming
And when the wind brings her a simple pleasure,
She dances with her limbs in such grace
And when she sings a song using her leaves,
It’s meant to give an important message
To those willing to hear her
Gently encourage them to seek out more nature to listen to
All the while her standing with confidence
Knowing she is a remainder, a reminder of the natural world
And that her beauty is uniquely special

Text Message Verses Letter
Text messages call for quick words and quick response
But a paper with pen in hand draws out your serenity
Your deepest thoughts
Your wisdom
Simple ponderings
And your most thoughtful words to someone
Your letter can make someone laugh or cry
10 years after it was written
It can document a life well lived
A permanent mark of inspiration
A mark made by a pen
A beautiful dieing art in it’s formation
Treasured by those who appreciate what you expressed
That they may hang it on corkboard or prop it up on a dresser
To be cherished for a long time
The feeling of giving and receiving only comes by way of paper
A physical item to hold and have
Enjoyably written by typewriter, colored fountain pens, or by dip pen
Decorated with drawings, stamps, printed photos, or stickers
On colored paper
Ended with a personal signature
From a loved one
Is priceless
In this super fast paced world
Take a step back
And sit with paper in hand in a park, backyard, forest, cemetery
And listen
To your thoughts, the trees, the birds, the wind
The moment of here and now
And share that with someone who you’ve been thinking of
And they will truly listen entirely
Because it is on paper
And it was written by you

Mail Pick Up
When a person parks their vehicle by their mailbox
And gets out to get their mail
I can’t help but wonder…
If they are putting in an effort
As part of their life’s current goal
To get the least amount of exercise as possible

The Mailman
The mailman arriving at an apartment complex
Attracts like the Pied Piper or icecream van man
Drawing all the non-working adults out of their apartments
To see what he has brought for them
Especially those who still have pen pals
And those who are Ebay addicts
