What The Thunder Said, Vol 4 | Page 34

Large protective pines sway gently above

And somewhere to my left, or maybe my right

A river runs, gurgling over rocks, pebbles, and sand

The smell of smoke flows freely as the sun starts

To set, revealing a being of countless eyes, all blinking

And winking seemingly at myself.

The sound of nothing, of silence,

Of true peace and serenity washes over me

As I sleep swinging with the wind

Between the protective pines

Above my head.

Between Two Pines

(For my Grandmother)
