hang in there
he doesn't need me to say it of course
what does he need anyway?
not much, it seems.
cuz there he is
hangin' on ... without much.
he looks like he's been there a while
he's got friends nearby
doing exactly what he's doing
just hangin' on
and doing a good job.
sometimes I wonder if could do that
hang on tight, I mean.
doesn't seem to happen so fast
seems to happen quite slow
maybe you've seen my friend
he's a tree on the edge
on the edge of some cliff
you can see his roots
and he's hangin' on
not stressed about it either
he seems quite sure that he's there to stay
it's been a while
so it seems that he's right.
"god created the world because he likes stories"
so says Elie Weisel in Gates of the Forest
I like them too
and I think there's lots of stories to be heard in the Shenadoah
and I'm at "once upon a time ...."
