THE BIRDS, THE FLOWERS AND THE TREES

Sometimes I wonder if I project my own feelings too much
onto the wind, the clouds, and the bees…
If I have a special relationship with the birds, the flowers and the trees?

When a bird is sining her morning song and I hear that melody
could it be that she’s just singing…or is she singing just to me?

When I walk by a flower in full bloom…though she’s meant for the whole world to see
in that moment I walk by her…does she stand a little taller…just for me?

As I work my way from branch to branch…climbing to the top of a tree
does she make it this easy for everyone to climb…
or does she make a little easier just for me.

Sometimes I wonder when it comes to birds, the flowers and the trees
If as humans we are more alike than we are apart…
I wonder if every flower has a brain
every bird a soul
and if every tree has a heart.

We are brought up to believe this is foolishness
It’s an impossibility…we have been taught…
but projection or not when I am with them 
it’s hard to believe…they do not.
