Tree

Tree,

outside
moving, likes the
wind
and me, here
see the wood
nymph
gentle, green

My brother Geoffrey wrote this decades ago and I still find it moving.
Geoff has spent 53 years on heavy medication as a 'mental patient',
his greatest freedom being his sensitive spirit and
outstanding ability to express himself in words and images
He has given me permission to submit this for him. He doesn't use computers.
I read the submission guidelines to Geoff and he agreed to them.
