A-

top

a tree

I can see

a wider scene

broader horizons

beyond my small world

more things, more people,

human need beyond the greed

which elections want to woo.

And I can choose not to see

to remain in my smallness

beyond people’s needs

beyond my own needs

beyond God

until I

hear

a

voice

saying

"Zacchaeus, come down!"

 

The Zacchaeus Tree, William Loader
