finally moved into the new home still lingers the smell and the keys from the older home a hint of sadness of leaving the old home in my heart yet the warmness of the new one dissolves it every new night a new hope, a new beginning, but without appreciating the old days...
the only regret, the plants left behind those that i planted from small pots into the ground that so widely spread and i cannot bring with me the big old palm tree, that saw me so many times smile and a couple cry too i will miss you my friend, most of all, and the little purple flowers of the bush around who i planted too
if i could bring you with me and water you again i apologize for leaving you back, i will miss you my leafy friends...
back in 2005 i moved my now-a-days home it had a little palm up front... one day, it looked dry, so i watered it then the next day i watered again...
another day, she looked a little sad so i put a little plant food and watered it again
i kept on watering her, at least every other day & now the little palm is bigger than the house!
only 5 years have passed but when i see her magnificent leaves and seat and read under her shade i cannot stop from smiling and being thankful to her, she has grown so tall and big we take care of each other that is our plant-human deal
i dedicate to her one of my favorite Arcade Fire songs, The Sprawl II the palm does know about sprawling, huh?
They heard me singing and they told me to stop, Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock, These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose, But late at night the feelings swim to the surface. Cause on the surface the city lights shine, They're calling at me, "come and find your kind."
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, That we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
We rode our bikes to the nearest park, Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark, We shield our eyes from the police lights, We run away, but we don't know why, And like a mirror these city lights shine, They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind."
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, That we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
