Two trees sharing one root


Two trees share one root 
and reach for the sky 
One a girl, one a guy 
How gently they sway by and by
 

Together they face to the sea 
Sparkling brightly in the sun 
Firmly planted, unwilling 
and unable to run
 

They dutifully shade a park bench 
Aimed out upon the bay 
and shade the lovers who rest upon it 
Sharing kisses by night and dreams by day
 

Through the clouds, the gales and the rain 
The trees with one root remain 
and their leaves bloom each season 
Again and again
 

Birds to the top branches alight 
To rest their weary wings from flight 
and rest there deep into the night 
To fly away at the break of morning light
 

And as the first rays of yellow sun 
Shine brightly upon the tree 
the he and she 
Cast only ONE shadow
