Poem: That Tree

In that sleepy hallway for only a few

Hours a day, the walls and floor become

Alive with the shadows of that tree.

Its leaves and branches dance and frolic

to the song the wind sings.

Its black and gray arms raise to skim the ceiling

Before sweeping down to the ground.

In that tired hallway, for only a few

Hours a day, there is that tree.
