The sycamore tree

Neilton

I found a hole 
under the sycamore tree 
We used to play when we were kids
The sun was setting 
I was finally free.
The wind turned into a soft breeze 
The sycamore tree birthed new leaves.
I climbed the trunk and over the hill
I saw birds singing old and sweet melodies 
The sun was setting 
I was finally free.
From the hole I found 
Under the sycamore tree
Was now flowing a lucid stream
And from there flourished-the whitest lilies 
Making it plain God paid me a visit

    Nostalgic and somewhat mystical it has feelings of loss but also freedom. Nicely written

      Idyllic! Brings me back to that hole and root system that grew over the edge of a stream that we used to swim in, sometimes there are eels there as well.🙏🏻🕊️
