True Love’s Toes by Cindy Kesey
A tree stands tall amongst her friends
true test of time that never ends.
And though they share the soil and moss
their roots are sure to never cross.
Yet sun, he tempts the branches grow.
And soon roots have no place to go.
Stretch they might cross forest floor.
One wish: alone they’ll be no more.
In moment’s hush as day turned night
the roots entwined as lovers might.
And tree stood tall for she’d finally found
her true love’s toes beneath the ground.
