I am done

The sun has barely asked

For permission to move away

Just for a little while, he says

I know you will surely be okay

–

The birds have only just started

Having thoughts of flying south

Still enjoying the crisp dawns

Having done feeding the tiny mouths

–

The earth is still debating

If to slow down or keep spinning

The full moon has yet to declare

If its favors are up for winning

–

The jasmine is still blooming

Oblivious to the date and time

For there is still a warmth

In the little worms in the grime

–

All the other tress still standing

Green and tall in the long light

But this one here, is like me

Done…..and no more desire to fight

–

It cares not that the day is long

Or the earth still a tender warm

It cares not who seeks its shade

Or what of the next big storm

–

It seems done with all of that

And is now left with no desire

It has no need to say goodbye

It has become one with the fire
