Look up!
Look up! Don’t stare at the ground,
Look up!
Yes, you’re deep in thought...
But, look up!
You’re thinking about today
What has to be done
How to reach your goal
But, look up!!
Walking and talking
Heads in the mundane
Eyes on the ground, but,
Look up!
Look up or you’ll miss it!
Look up or you’ll be stuck
in pavement and problems
not solutions and revolutions.
The sky is blue
The clouds are white
The grass is green, and
The trees are PURPLE!! ¹
The trees are... what?
I’ve been trying to tell you.
Not green, not red, not yellow,
Neither fuchsia, nor white, or pink,
Not ground cover beauties,
Not flowers knee-high,
Not bushes in bloom, but TREES...
Great boughs with petals of purple!
Who would have thought?
That’s just the point.
Look up and think new thoughts.
Jacaranda Trees, towering 45-50 feet tall, as seen in Los Angeles, CA.
