here’s the place
I can rest
under this tree
its canopy embracing me
no sun, no moon
just the dark, dark blue
under this big tree
now blanketing me
my companion along
with this dream of the journey
trekking a dusty road
under the heat
of a burning sun
in busy pursuits
to a lasting resting place
this welcome haven melts my dreams
