I Could, But I Most Certainly Will Not

Topic: LovePoetry







I Could, But I Most Certainly Will Not

I could be that solitary oak
standing stoic, full and tall
in an unending meadow of flowing grasses;
I could.
It is possible for me to be that tenacious and singular oak
on that North Atlantic rocky crag,
gnarled and bent with sinuous roots reaching deep into the earth;
It is possible.
Were there a noble purpose for it,
I have the potential within to stand alone
surrounded by asphalt, concrete, glass, iron and cut stone,
enduring choking haze, chemical purges and the city's deafening cacophony;
There is that potential within me.

But,

I would much, much rather find myself
warm and snuggled, deep within your forest;
I would much prefer
awakening in the soft glow of dawn
to discover my roots hopelessly entangled with yours;
I would most certainly choose
the rich experience
of not knowing where my leaves end and yours begin,
of limbs wonderfully entwined,
of sharing
our nakedness in autumn,
intimacy's warmth during cold winter months,
the joy of birth come spring,
the thrill of growth as the summer sun pours life into our soul...
It would be my consuming desire
to spend my days
discovering more and more of you,
while you
discover more and more of me.

I could be that singular being...
It isn't what I want,
but,
I could...
However,
having been blessed with knowing you as I do,
if the choice is mine to make,
I most certainly will not.

Hey,
thanx for commenting on my poem
I really liked this one the imagery within it
I could just picture one of the first trees standing alone and then contrasting that with the warmth of a forest
nice write
