Magnolia

Our time is magnolia;
Flakes of furling peace
Cream in the sun
Cupped heaven

Reaching them's the struggle -
Through twisted branch or bough
Around the knotted skin of life
We rub our skin to bark

Then there's them who'd shake branches
Bring you to fall the heights
Drop into apathy
Dispossessed and lost
Soul winded

The climb's a struggle
But through convolutions
Obstacles and roots
The fruit will come

Join me in the sun
