heart felt

I decided not to wait and post my first published poem just so those of you viewing my page know what to expect :P Give any feedback, this is one of my top three favorite poems, and I'll be sure to post more, probably once a week.



i climbed a tree today.
it was green and tall and
there were two birds nests.
each had three blue eggs with
baby birds waiting to hatch
and spread their wings.

i climbed a tree today.
and i laughed at the people below,
the ones who couldnt see things from
        my perspective.
those who laughed, cried, yelled, screamed
at the kids who sat in their lawn
reading books and thinking outloud.

i climbed a tree yesterday.
and i dont remember
how i thought.

i dont remember the people i saw.

         i dont remember the expression i had.

i remember how i felt two years ago.
up against a
brick wall
with someone telling me what to believe.
i remember how i felt the first time i knew i was in love.
but i dont remember what it felt like
to know the world. to understand
       everything.

i climbed a tree yesterday.
and i asked if you wanted to come up.
and you said
i wont waste my time on it.

and when i climbed the tree again today,
and the green grass grew shorter than
i had seen it before,
i remembered why i didnt remember
how i felt yesterday.
and i laughed
and got down.
