Naugatuck Valley...

Street lights like Stars
     twinkling, this time,
     from below
     and not from afar

     when the traffic lights
     still blink red,
     all but a few
     asleep in their beds,
     a few Souls
     for different reasons wake...
I Rise to Rest
     before Day
     and the World
     tries to take from me
     what it would make of me
     to suit its needs;

     but that is not for me...
I go to Earth,
     dance upon stones
     in the stream,

     give and take
     with some branches
     before me;

     break off the Dead,
     they are no use to the Tree,
     gently move young ones,
     wondering what,
     in the coming years,
     I may see...
