Class Assignment: "The Tree Poem"

"Come bring me your softness

comfort me through all this madness

woman, don't you know, with you

I'm born again"*

Charismatically soft shoe stepped though past heartache

Heartbreak; to beat-bend spirit back to its original score

Rebirthed; tap stitched fresh interludes so

I'm now, my own foundation

Sing melodies dripped in encore, swaddled

Tightly in your crease, never have

I ever clutched affection so close

Napped in once was and soon will be, we dance in the splendor

Arms affixed as if fashioned for one another, rooted in cordated cacophony; bloom symphonies on natured sheets

"Woman, don't you know, with you

I'm born again" 

*Song lyrics by Billy Preston

~With You I'm Born Again
