unexplained pain

[bennie2]

some words

are just

a bell

too loud

and now

I'm fa-

-lling deaf

[panta rhei]

the fall of mankind

some words are just

some bells too loud

some falls are made
of leaves
of man

of pride that
has gone
before it

has gone deaf

[bennie2]

life is a tree
shedding skin.

each man is a leaf

each new day
a continual autumn

[panta rhei]

man is an autumn
stirring trees
causing fall
blowing winds
provoking change

[bennie2]

a blowing wind
caused a change:
a leaf blown long
fell over a young sprouting
sapling in the dirt.
the shade provided chance of growth

[panta rhei]

shade became shelter
sprout lost doubt
grew stout
stuck out snout
scouted about
dared to come out

[bennie2]

in daring to come out,
to grow,
from sprout,
to sky, stretching,
the delicate bud becomes
a definite tree...

and thanks the sheltering leaf in passing

[bennie2]

small aside:
thank you for helping to turn my unexplained pain into a definite tree

[the mingo]

What a thread ! (adjectives fail me)

[panta rhei]

i think it's the unexplained pain tree definition formula that led us this way...

...of bells and trees and words that hurt i choose trees. they grow roots in words not meant to hurt & they continue to charm. most delicate sounds. if you just stop to listen to the leaves and the birds visiting the branches growing deep growing in eyes on you & if you stop to listen maybe you'll see a fairy hidden inside the wound trying to deep clean trying to kiss it better trying trying sitting crosslegged with ears that are big and soft. grow grow roots & grins & ears that won't wilt. because we are trees of the flowering kind...
