Look what the cat dragged in

Found an old diary from my college days and came across this old poem of mine from 1988. It made me smile.

The lone tree

The lone tree by the running stream sheds leaves upon the water
in multitude
The leaves go forth and the process repeats
multiplies
For each leaf floats along it hits a shore somewhere
then the ripples travel back to the place where stood
a lone tree by the running stream
and
the tree drops another batch of apostles to strike other shores
and
that's why there is a lone tree by the running stream
