Animal Wishes

Down in the leaves

Under the tree 

Where so many cars rumble

Where the noise rocks the trees 

Deep in their thoughts of a better world

Where green grass grows 

Where the trees don’t feel pain

Deep in a world of flowers 

Below the water with the fish

On river beds

Near the birds

Around the world

Below the dirt 

Near the sea

Up the tree

Above the wind

To the bush

Off to find a home
