Caterpillar Valley

for those who hide

Caterpillar Valley
Past the carefully constructed stone wall
Behind you so comfortably crawled tall
to your hiding place, next to your heart
lives your soul, to journey a fresh start
because the sadness of this world's contrary existence
and the weariness that nothing can change, hence
brings you to a sea, where you sail alone
and dream of running through a field without stone
there you find tranquility and visit a place
where everything has it's purpose and space
and there you see all as one, in perfect harmony
then a wave splashes your sail on the sea
and the droplets remind you, it's your dream
it's your ocean, it's your moment, scream
scream so you can be heard, behind that wall
Loosen one stone, let it fall.
like a tree that looses it's leaves, changed for a season
leaves always to return again for a reason
the tree ever changing, ever growing
gathering knowledge, forever knowing
through every season, I will still be
A tree.
