as i stare at trees
I don’t want anybody I just want everybody to want me
like intertwining branches on a tree
I wrap around myself so narcissistically
trapped in these tendencies
I tend to depend on constancies of drop and then amend
leaves fall without stop and I pretend,
there not gone but then again,
I find myself swept away by my own wind
and I drift ever so slowly to lay underneath the area of an old wisteria tree
as I ineptly inspect burdens I can only obscurely see
its perspicacious purple whispers wisdom to me
and the efficacious therapy averts a vexatious plea
but I continue to meander until I lay in exhaust,
on the soft forest floor moss
adoring how the branches of the deciduous tree crossed,
I soared the amiss advances and remained lost…
tranquility and its cost?
my mild mindset mixed with tea brewed from an alecost
in my favorite canvas I became tossed

I appreciate the candor of the first line (speaking for us all)
The in cadence rhyme is stunning!
Theme is visually mesmerizing
Front,mid,end wordsmithery on full display. Oh, did I mention cadence.
Bravo!!
Loved your words especially “perspicacious purple whispers”!
Amazing what comes into our minds when we stare at nature! Love how you “tossed” yourself into the mix.
