hard wood

footsteps on wooden floors
the echo of an ancient drum
on the wood that was a tree
forested mountains
collapse of a dream
clouds saw it
watched it come and go
the eagle flew away
distressed face of the sun
polished to a brilliant shine
with promising chemicals
will keep it for all time
in perfect condition
while another tree grows
reaching out with tender arms
unsuspecting and innocent
forested mountains
keep dark secrets
invincible chemicals
haunt us in dreams
we cannot walk or talk now
sealed our fate a long time ago
carved our initials in the gray bark
we made love under the canopy
green leaves whispered
my name in your ear
forever, you whispered back to me
reaching out with tender arms
the promise of eternity
so sedcutive and addictive
i wanted to believe
you wanted me
the echo of footsteps
hollow retreat in empty rooms
that could not hold us
with their highly polished floors
chemical coated forever pure
in spirit but false in heart
the smell of polyurethene
permeates the air
plastic coat me and perserve me
i will not wilt or fade
for i am not really here
merry
