another day some say

Today I feel like that tree
The big, thick barked, tangle of limbs
Hugging itself in its fabulous folds
Today I love like the sunset
Radiating beauty, mesmerizing humanity with simple splendor
Not intending brilliance just being it
Today I dream like a fast jet
Leaving a trail to show the way
Flashing hope into clouded eyes
Today I know like the geese in winter
Traversing through time to a new destination
Calling out with song to gather the flock
No need for certainty of the approaching winter
Today I remember like an old cliché
Heard and finally understood
So simply spoken yet sweetly sophisticated
A reasoned solution to a loving life
