song with no tune

[i wrote this on the 31st and disliked it so i shelved it. today i feel much more kindly disposed to it so i'm posting it after all. hmph.]

maybe

?

just a sapling, i'll admit

i bend but never break


tasting the wind
feeling the sun
looking

'til i'm blind

all new

i bend with each caress

the wind
it plays on my hair
a strange tune


little white lies
i tell each day

keeping it burning


building my dreams in
thin paper

lets the light in
moves so freely
cuts so easily
stings


throw it into the fire


you're the first thing i think of in the morning
and the last at night

never never never


you're a seed

who knows what rainbow dreams
slumber within you
just a seed


the hope i feed myself
is starving me

i'm hungry


i am a sapling

i need the light
i grow towards the light

you're just a seed

just a seed.


i am a sapling.
